VINCE JOINS DROUIN ROTARY
Vince Dijkstra, a retired local horticulturist, was inducted recently as a member of the Drouin Rotary Club.
Vince arrived in Australia from the Netherlands in 1987 as a qualified horticulturalist, and set up business growing flowers at Iona – an enterprise he carried on for almost 30 years before retiring to the Drouin area. He supplied cut flowers through the Melbourne market and interstate.
Vince was introduced to the Club by Past President Arie DeWit, and their wives, Afke and Ans accompanied their husbands for the occasion.
In performing the induction, President Sharryn Marshall welcomed Vince into Rotary, saying that the Club would benefit from his involvement in its projects, and announced that he had been appointed to the Club’s fund-raising committee. Responding to his induction, Vince said that he was grateful for the friendly reception he had received when visiting the Club and was looking forward to participating in its various community activities.
