Do you have someone in mind who fits the profile as a nomination for this year's Sir John Reid Award? Someone who has made an outstanding contribution to the local community in Victoria; a non-Rotarian volunteer who has not received awards in recognition of their contributions to community.

Rodney wrote… Dear President Marion, my Fellow Rotarians and Jo,
Thank you for your kind messages and the flowers following Edna’s death. Your support has helped me greatly and makes me proud to be a member of the Rotary Club of Melbourne. Edna was my partner in Rotary and made a large contribution to it particularly in Youth Exchange. She attended many Rotary functions both here in Australia and overseas. She was a guest speaker on one occasion telling the story of what it was like to be “A Ten Pound Pom” shortly after the war. Kindest regards Rodney Smith.
The Presidents Nominating Committee for 2020-21 has now been formed and no more than the required number of nominations to the committee have been received by the due date.
Members, we ask for your support for this vital part of our online Rotary Melbourne weekly meetings: our Club's Fighting Fund https://www.trybooking.com/BKEVJ
