SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS

Both the Area 6 Director (2015-16) Katherine and the District 70 Club Growth Director (2015-16) Peter were present (as members) of Concord West Club tonight.

However as outgoing Phillip Division Governor (2014-15) Peter Crosby requested permission of the meeting to make 2 belated Awards on Club Members.

Firstly to outgoing District 70 Treasurer Anna Perdriau for her service to District 70 Treasurer, in particular for this last 12 months in the preparations required to create the brand new District 90 from the northern half of the old District 70.

And a Merit Award as Recognition of Distinguished Service to outgoing Area 6 Governor John Hughson.

These awards were announced at the recent District 70 Changeover Dinner but the recipients were unable to attend so it was particularly appropriate to receive them from our very own Immediate Past Phillip Division Governor in his final duty.
