Young’s Rotarian family will soon gather to celebrate 80 years of friendships, community spirit and helping local and international communities.
“Past and present members, friends of Rotary and the community are invited to our lunch,” past president and current director of youth, Roz Hill said.
The luncheon, held at the golf club, will celebrate the Rotary Club of Young being chartered 80 years ago.
Those attending can enjoy a two-course meal, a catch-up with friends and an inspirational address by Mary Brell (OAM), pictured left. Ms Brell’s talk is entitled Many Trips to Nepal and the Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak member will discuss her pioneering work during the past eight years in the south asian country.
The new recipient of the Medal of the Order Of Australia (OAM) in this year’s Australia Day list, Ms Brell has made about 15 trips to Nepal, taking local teachers, doctors, builders and senior school students from Orange on the journeys.
Starting her career as a teacher, Mr Brell’s association with Nepal began when, as a Rotary club leader, she was contacted by a Sydney club needing teachers for a project in Nepal. Now, Ms Brell said one of the most satisfying parts of the Nepal trips was taking Year 12 school students with her, instead of them going to schoolies parties.
Despite the valuable role she plays in assisting the Nepalese people, Ms Brell remains down-to earth and humble.
“My philosophy is all about, if I can make a difference, I want to do that,” she said. “I’ve just been the catalyst for a lot of people doing all the stuff.”
