Pres Pete’s first speech was to thank his wife Mary for her support and all about thanking the members, Partners and Honorary members and friends for their support over the first 12 months and what we had achieved as a group for the community and abroad, local donations and family support, current projects and some that will be starting soon, Pete also thanked Paul Netas from Hillview Quarries for their support in paying for our BBQ trailer.
How we had worked with the Lions Club to do BBQ’s for them and also lent out our new BBQ trailer, Peter wants to continue the Sky hydrand program and The A FOR ATTITUDE book program started by Bob Donaldson for the Dromana Primary School.
The Induction was a humorous one, President Pete stood on the right side of Adrian Froggatt who did the induction, he took the collar from Pete, then Pete jumped to the left to put the collar back around his neck.
