Peninsula BBQ at the Meehan's

Posted by Roger THORNTON

At the Peninsula BBQ at the Meehan's, we took the opportunity to acknowledge two of our ‘friends of rotary’ for their ongoing personal commitment and contribution to the good Rotary does.

Margaret Thomas – Paul Harris Sapphire

Margaret was recognized for her personal contribution to the work of the Foundation of Rotary through her individual participation in international programs, support to Rotary Central Melbourne and its humanitarian work and her ongoing giving as a member of the Paul Harris Society.

Pauline O’Brien – Paul Harris Recognition

Pauline was recognized for her exemplary commitment to the humanitarian and educational objectives of The Rotary Foundation and support to Rotary Central Melbourne over 31 years and in particular her untiring efforts during Frank’s Presidential year in 2017/18. US$1,000 donated in Pauline’s name to fund an array of projects that save and invigorate the lives of people around the world and enhance international friendship and understanding.
