COMMUNITY SERVICE EXELLENCE
Throughout our community many people quietly undertake a variety of roles to support and encourage people who on occasion need a helping hand. These people do not seek reward or acknowledgement and yet they are greatly appreciated by all. Tonight we wish to give recognition to a few who have been nominated by Rotary members for their service to the community.

Win Harrip has made visits to people in the general section of the Lyell McEwin Hospital as well as the Palliative Care area for over 15 years, the last 5 years representing the Uniting Church as a Chaplain. Always willing to listen and help, this is a lady who understands other's problems and who gives confidence to those around her. Win is a person who is strong in adversity and with a wonderful sense of humour.
