Melville Cockburn Chamber of Commerce (MCCC)
The planning committee met last week to discuss the types of awards that MCCC would offer in 2022, and also the presentation evening.
Rotary (Applecross and Cockburn) will be allocated an Apprentice/Youth/Trainee Category.
The MCCC board will meet in the new year to decide on the broader details.
We proposed introducing Pride of Workmanship Awards on a quarterly basis at MCCC Sundowners. This was accepted and we will work through the details separately.
Guest Speakers
Last week, we heard from past Rotarian, Wayne Smith, who set up the Give A Feed Xmas Hampers programme. Oscar Wharton, Marketing Manager, outlined the wonderful work that Foodbank does.
Tomorrow we look forward to hearing some wonderful stories from Gemma and Jade from Whalewatchers WA.
