Community Service

 

The purpose of the Community Services Committee continues to be to provide assistance to local initiatives, organisations and clubs operating in the Blackwood and surrounding areas and in some instances initiatives that operate in the southern region that may have an impact on the local community.

 

This year our committee has focused on maintaining our relationships with local community organisations by providing financial assistance that assists in a meaningful manner and increasing the profile of Rotary Club of Blackwood.

 

Our committee currently consists of Martin Rowe, Helen Henbest, John Walters, Peter Geer, Richard Dix, Chris Howard, Jacquie Wright and Alan Eldridge. We would also like to thank Hilary Flynn and Bernie Morgan who retired from the committee and club during the year.
