LAST WEDNESDAY
 
 
Peter McPhee
 
A Life of Service
Peter  ( RC Mitcham) was recently awarded a Member (AM)
in the General Division of the Order of Australia.
Ben has posted an excellent synopsis of Peter's presentation, thereby relieving me of the need to do so. 
Read it in its entirety at
 
A few excerpts from Ben's post:
 
        " I was delighted to hear Rotarian, Peter McPhee AM speak this evening at the Rotary Club of Nunawading meeting (on zoom). 
Peter was recently awarded a Member (AM) in the General Division of the Order of Australia in the recent Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
The citation reads
 
“For significant service to the community
through a range of organisations”.
 
Peter's message :
"we have to build a better Australia, for our kids and our future
.... don't sit on your hands, get out and do it!"
 
I must also confess to having sourced the image from the Whitehorse Historical Society Facebook page at

Judith shared a message from Carina.
For our newer members, Carina was an exchange student we hosted a few years ago.
 
Can’t believe it’s been so long since the exchange!
Whats new? How are you doing with covid in Australia?
Everyone around is vaccinated but the next wave is expected.
I haven’t gotten the vaccine yet because of the news I wanted to share!
I don’t if you heard from Sue, my boyfriend and I are expecting a tiny new family member end of January.
We are super excited! 🥰

Vale Stuart McDonald
 
News has probably reached you of the sad passing of Stuart (Stu) McDonald, Past President of the Rotary Club of Healesville last Saturday morning. Stu was well known in this District for his many fine attributes and contributions to Rotary during his 35-year career as a Rotarian.
 
But it was as ‘Mr Youth Exchange’ that most of us knew him. He was a passionate advocate, a tireless worker, and an extremely well informed and dedicated member of, not only D9810 Youth Exchange’s committee, but also Victorian, Australian and Rotary International YE committees and teams. All of us have had Stu visit our clubs at some time or another, to ensure that the YE students being hosted at our clubs were OK, and that all was well with them and their hosts. Most of us have been at the airport to welcome home or farewell YE students and Stu would always be there, no matter what the time of day or night, to also extend the hand of Rotary friendship and care. He was a role model of Service Above Self.
 
Our son Peter was a D9810 YE student to Germany over 20 years ago under Stu’s safe guidance and tutelage. Peter learned how well he had been prepared for his YE experience by the D9810 team and he owes a great debt to Stu and others for their time and expertise. As indeed, do countless other young people from our District and across the world. How fortunate we have all been to have known Stu and to have experienced his life’s example as he passionately epitomised the motto, ‘Serve to Change Lives.’
 
 
YOU ARE INVITED to view the online funeral service for Stu
