Paul Harris recognition for Wimmera Cancer Centre
Five Rotary Clubs share the Horsham celebration
One of the great moments in Rotary happens when we recognise a person - or less frequently an organisation - that shares the community service aspirations that are at the heart of the Rotary Foundation and Rotary International.
On Wednesday 12th May five Rotary Clubs and community leaders assembled for a joint meeting in Horsham to recognise the great work done by the Wimmera Cancer Centre in support of cancer patients in the Wimmera region of Victoria and to acknowledge the pivotal support provided by the centre to the Rotary Outreach Myeloma Program.
Five couples from the Rotary Club of Camberwell – Peter and Bev Allen, David and Margret Baker, Michael and Bernadette Blood, Don and Margery Jago and Jim and Trish O’Hara shared the hospitality of the Rotary Club of Horsham East together with fellow Rotarians from Horsham, Nhill and Warracknabeal.. Sadly, Adrian Campbell was an apology due to an illness. (He is fine again now)

The PHF ceremony was conducted by PDG Don Jago in his role as Chair of the ROMP initiative. The beautifully framed recognition certificate was gretefully received on behalf of the Wimmera Cancer Centre by Carmel O’Kane, Cancer Nurse Practitioner and Manager. In accepting the recognition Carmel ironically commented that “Rotary deserves the recognition” because of the support delivered by the clubs in the creation of the Wimmera Centre and ongoing Rotary support.
PDG Don Jago formally recognises the Wimmera Cancer Centre represented by Manager Carmel O’Kane while President Zane Bell (Horsham East and President Doug Mitchell (Horsham) look on.
