Tom will be presenting our next Silk/Miller scholarship awardee to members at next Tuesday's meeting.
Coincidentally, last week, Mary and friends were walking in Kings Park and Mary stopped at the Victoria Police memorial for officers who have been killed in service.

Referring to the memorial and Mary's interest, President elect Neville has added the following from his personal involvement with Police Legacy.
"It is a very special place. For your interest with the relationship we have with Victoria Police Legacy, an annual event that has been growing by the year is the Wall to Wall ride. Thousands of motorcyclists of police, families, friends and others congregate at the respective memorials in each state and territory for a memorial service to their fallen.
Each jurisdiction has a baton that is presented to a selected young legatee from the respective Commissioners and they convey it in a motorcycle run to Canberra. The event culminates with them all converging on the Federal Police memorial in Canberra for a final service and laying of the batons by the legatees.
I have been a couple of times, when I was on the Board of Legacy, not as a motorcyclist but to transport the sole parent of the young Victorian Legatee. It is always a very moving event and one I would love RCM to look at how we could support in a growing partnership with Police Legacy."
