Ken Illet provided these photos from last Sunday's (27th Feb) MetSO Gala Concert held at the Ballroom, Governor House. The 10 volunteers consist of 8 Club members plus Bethwyn Miller and Fiona Johnson. The volunteers were on various duties from 11 am to 6 pm, tasks involved setting up the 200 chairs in the Ballroom and packing them away, checking vaccination status and ticket collection at the gate, taking care of VIPs, managing the audience, providing safety wardens and assisting MetSO as directed.

The volunteers did a fantastic job over this extended period with smiles, as leaders of the pack (Kevin Jackson and Tony Chien) we are extremely proud of the team, and assistance from RCD was duly acknowledged in the Governor's speech and from MetSO. Our President Jason and his wife Aisha were amongst the VIPs and a number of our Club members were in the audience. Below is an extract from an email from Mrs. Ti Wan Porter, the Event Manager from MetSO: Thank you to all the Rotarians for helping at the concert yesterday. The organisation and management for our first event at GHB was a massive undertaking. Your expert advice and practical help on the day is very much appreciated. It has been a pleasure working with RCD and I hope we can continue to help each other with exciting new projects. Please can you pass on our thanks to all the RCD helpers? |
