As President, I was invited by the Weston Creek Branch of the Rotary Club of Canberra to attend a Club Dinner Meeting to accept a Rotary Community Service Award on behalf of the Weston Creek Men’s Shed.

You may be aware that the existence of the WCMS is attributed to the initiative and forethought of Mal Ferguson and Graham Giles from Rotary, who could see that there was a need for a Shed in ur community and set about to make it happen. As I have reported earlier, we were invited last November to give a presentation on the Shed’s achievements and this award to night is confirmation that the Rotary Club’s initiative was well founded and that they heartily approve of the work that we do.

In a nutshell, and i’ll quote from the Award:

“This Award to the Weston Creek men’s Shed recognises the Shed’s outstanding service to the community since its launch in 2014”

So, on behalf of the Shed and of our community I offered them our sincere thanks and accepted the award with pride and pleasure.

Thanks to Mal and Graham, and to Rotary, for the great work that themselves do for all communities everywhere.
