On Monday 20th November, the Rotary Club of Greensborough celebrated with Montmorency and Greensborough Colleges,  the presentation of the Kevin Gillespie and George Upton Awards for 2017.

 
These awards are presented annually and have been in existence, for  the last  30 plus years.
 
We were delighted to have the support of both Principals, Allan Robinson from Montmorency and Pauline Barker from Greensborough, together with support staff from both schools.
 
Six students, from each college (one from each year level) receive recognition with a Certificate and a gift voucher from our club.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The function is celebrated at the Heidelberg Golf Club where teaching staff and students together with their families and friends, were invited to share the occasion, with  a bbq lunch which was provided and enjoyed.
 
It was indeed a pleasure to welcome  a very special Guest in former Rotarian and  Charter member, Past President with a PHF John Mackey, who gave an overview of  the award and some background on Rotary to the students and guests.
  
55 Guests and Rotarians attended and contributed to the Rotary Raffle which raised $310.  The huge hamper was organised by Margaret McPherson, Zilis Hardiman and Christine Shields - thank you ladies.
 
Thanks to the team for their help in setting up and helping to facilitate the smooth running of the event.
