Further on there is a report on the very successful RYLA Conference held in December. This is one of our pre-eminent programmes especially now that it is incorporating a Certificate IV in Business. I had the pleasure of attending on the Wednesday and was hugely impressed with the calibre of the content and presentation along with the level of engagement of the participants. Special thanks to Nigel and Ann Cousins along with Simon Varvaruc and his team of very enthusiastic young leaders.
 
It was a privilege to attend RC Pakenham’s presentation to the students from four of the Pakenham schools with their Junior Community Awards in December. An amazing event with lots of parents, teachers. Colour was provided by Pakenham’s beautiful pink polo shirts (oops, sorry Ken, was it fuschia you said?). There’s a report later in ChainMail.
 
Best wishes to all as we enter the second half of our Rotary year.
