Rotary Club of Eaglehawk Citizen of the Year - Gai Porh La Myint or affectionately known as 'GP' has had an enormous impact within both her Karen Community and the local Eaglehawk community.  From having arrived in Australia knowing only 2 words of English, through sheer hard work and determination made her way through school and then onto university to become a qualified pharmacist.  This alone would be a huge task but GP has a strong commitment to family and is a tireless worker in the Karen Community.  Recently having agreed to join our Rotary Club we are so very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with GP to strengthen our clubs connection to the Karen Community and GP is leading the way with many initiatives that will greatly benefit our broader community.  A worthy recipient of the Citizen of the Year recognition.  We are so very proud and thankful that she has chosen our Eaglehawk community in which to share her passion and commitment to 'Doing Good in the World'.  Congratulations GP - a very worthy recipient of this recognition.

 

 

An annual event on our club's calendar is to provide a BBQ lunch at the Eaglehawk Secondary College (ESC) to help in the promotion of the RUOK day.  A fantastic initiative and we were pleased to have the support of the O'Brien Electrical Team who as it turns out, are quite good on the BBQ tongs!  Thanks to all for the great team work and to the staff and students who were fantastic and an absolute pleasure to work with.
