WELCOME TO OUR NEW ASSISTANT GOVERNOR

 

Our new Assistant Governor, Nicole Lake, was welcomed to the meeting by President Rob. Nicole has been a member of the Rotary Club of Melbourne Park for six years. She was President in 2014-15.

 

She is a Research Scientist at the Murdoch Institute which is the research arm of the Royal Children's Hospital. She is specialising in the area of genetics and is currently undertaking a PhD project which focuses on finding the causes of disease in patients with Leigh syndrome, the most common form of mitochondrial disease in children.

 

Nicole expressed her delight to be at the meeting. She said that, under the direction of District Governor Neville John, our objective for the year is simple - for each club to be stronger by 1 July 2017 than they were on 1 July 2016.

 

How do we do that? By working together and focusing on the actions that sit within each of the three strategic pillars:

 

 

In essence, if we have a vibrant, active club that engages people with interesting projects and we actively promote what we do in our community, new members will come and existing ones will stay. If there is one thing we’ve learned from the Polio eradication campaign, it’s what can be achieved if we’re all working together and moving in the same direction. There are unique skills and experiences that each of us have and together there is nothing we cannot do.

 

Nicole will be returning to the club for DG Neville's official visit on August 2nd.
