I am honoured to accept the role of President from my predecessor, Heather Andrew. I congratulate her on a great job of steering the club for the past 15 months. Heather took over from our Charter President, Michael Mellare, who lead us for 21 months. Between them they laid a solid foundation for the club to build upon.  I look forward to continuing their great work with emphasis on our existing projects such as The Santa Run, supporting our interest club, RYDA, RYPEN and the establishment of a local PCYC.

 

We chartered with a clear focus on the PCYC project and have never lost sight of the need for this. It has been said that the youth of any community are the future and we are the custodians of that future. With this area being one of the fastest growing youth communities in Australia, it is incumbent upon us all to do all we can to ensure our youth have the best opportunities to develop as strong community members. To this end, our club will lead the charge with the continued support of our State Member Michael Crandon MP, who took up this challenge over 9 years ago.  

 

The coming year will no doubt see us take on other projects as well, all of which will be done with the same passion we have undertaken everything thus far. The secret of success is that many hands make light work, so we call on all like minded community members to come along to a business meeting and see how you can add your passion to ours and make a difference in the Ormeau Pimpama community.
