How did you first connect with our club?
Following an invite to our daughter to attend a RYLA camp, I attended an information night. Jenny Coburn, who was assisting in the carpark, invited me to visit some clubs to consider joining. As I worked in Burwood, I attended a couple of local clubs and settled on our club as the only one offering morning meetings.
Why do you stay a member?
I was uncertain about remaining a member for most of the first year as I didn't really have a clear Why. A poster made the difference. It read "People like you and me making a difference". This engaged me and I decided I could make a difference to help my community just by contributing my small part.
What are you passionate about?
Investing, golf, reading and faithful living. These and the sheer pleasure of family and friends brings a smile. Maybe accompanied by a glass of wine…
What does volunteering mean to you?
Being in a position to give back to my community through using my skill, experience and knowledge is very satisfying. Whether through offering advice, support or practical effort and contribution, we can see direct improvement in the lives of others through our combined work as a club. By joining with others, our work is leveraged and multiplied.
