We were saddened to learn of the recent passing of Di Nicholas (Casey).
Di was a very active member of our Rotary Club for many years and held a strong interest in the development of young people. She was a great supporter of Rotary Youth Leadership Award, Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment and National Youth Science Forum programs and acted as "camp mum" at the RYLA annual camp for the young attendees.
At District 9500 level she was very involved in the committee for Rotaract (18 – 30 year old) and Interact (14 – 17 year old).
Di was an active member of the planning and organising team for the District 9500 Conference held at Alice Springs.
Di held the position of Director of Vocational Services and in memory of her son, Sam, Di set up the Sam Casey “Encouragement Award” and was involved in the SA Enterprise Workshops with the support of our Club. Each year, at the end of the workshop, the winners of the Award, were given financial assistance to develop their business.
Di also held the position of Public Relations Director.
Di was a very hardworking, kind and caring person and will be sadly missed.
