Message from President Ross Schweitzer
It is with a heavy heart that I advise members of the passing early this morning of Rotarian Sander Vandeth.
Over a long period Sander, who joined our Club on 17 February 2009, with the classification of Mechanical Engineering, proved himself to be an outstanding Rotarian.
Sander was introduced to our Club by Frank Flowers. Previously Sander had been a Rotarian elsewhere.
During his working life Sander held key engineering roles in both Australia and Canada.
During his time at Mt Eliza Sander, a very willing worker, undertook many projects and held a number of offices in the organisation including President in 2013/14.
Sander was a worthy recipient when he was awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship on 15 May 2017 and was a proud Rotarian of the Year not long after joining our Club.
Over the last couple of years Sander has faced medical challenges with courage and strength of character. Notwithstanding this fact, Sander continued supporting our Fun Run and facilitated our Club Rosters until very recently.
On behalf of the Club please join with me in expressing our condolences to Sander's wife Jane and his family.
Funeral details will be circulated as they become available.
