Our newest and youngest Club member Tony Nguyen gave us an insight into his life with a member behind the badge presentation last Monday.
President Tony Laycock teamed in well as the insightful journalist with some leading and probing questions to help us get to know Tony Nguyen.
Tony's parents come to Australia separately from Vietnam in the 1980's - his mum via Hong Kong and his dad via Malaysia. They met and married in Australia .
Tony is one of three children and his parent worked long hours to make ends meet when the children were growing up. This lead Tony to work in the financial planning industry to help ensure he and his family have a sound financial footing. He has now moved in the real estate industry and is enjoying the experience.
Tony's partner is Tran and they have been together for more than 10 years.
Tony's mum has always been involved in charitable activities and this has rubbed off on him.
Tony when asked to tell us about something that we might not know about him revealed that, since his last year in high school, he has used meditation to help him deal with staying focused and deal with the stresses of everyday life - he has found this to be a great assistance to him.
Tony offered some suggestions about how to help new members like himself get involved with the Club and more broadly rotary activities and projects.
Thanks Tony for your very relaxed and informative member behind the badge presentation which members should be aware Tony agreed to do at very short notice due to meeting changes because of the covid restrictions. Thanks Tony
