Casey Allen
She reflected on her award as a year six student She went to Meridan and enjoyed dancing and she was interested in music, piano and singing. She was very shy. Her role models were her Mum and Dad. They instilled manners and encouraged kindness to others. She worked hard with a sense of justice and modesty in the face of success.
She was apprehensive on the night. She met the guest speaker Fiona Coote, Australian heart transplant recipient. Her parents were very happy and jumped up, as per the Toyota advertsement.
She remembers the words on her award. The message matters, being respectful matters and courtesy matters. They became her personal values, and even now as a teacher and mother of two children. She congratulated the awardees as future leaders ,.
She remembers using the library, having a home phone, no such things a mobiles and listening to music she had recorded. Now students are more connected. More is expected of you because of the digital connection,
Good citizenship is even more necessary in these days of digital connection,
She is now interested in leadership and the importance of quiet leadership. Music and drama are her passions. At high school she was inspired by her teachers, their commitment and care for their students. She has been a music teacher at PLC for 19 years and it is very rewarding
Take the time to reflect on the positive things that have led you here tonight.
Thanked by Liam.

From the District Governor
Dear John and Tim,
I just wanted to say congratulations on such a wonderful successful evening.
It is so exciting to see the wonderful interaction of community and Rotary with so many benefits to the schools in Marinduque and Cebu.
It was also wonderful to hear about small business and that there is a champion of that cause. He spoke so well in raising out awareness of the importance of small business. Could you remind me of his details.
I look forward to working with you in the future and sharing and growing Rotary.
Please pass on my very best wishes to all the Rotarians in Burwood Rotary Club.
Yours in Rotary Service
Janice
