8. Kevin Hadingham: Thanked Laurie from St John’s Ambulance for the diversity of events to which it responds in order to ensure community health and safety.
Speakers: Laurie from St John’s Ambulance spoke of the work of this organisation which commenced more than 100 years ago and now includes educating the public in first aid procedures. Laurie accepted a donation of supplies from RC Eltham and mentioned that it was only the second time in his experience in 35 years that their work had been recognised in this way! We look forward to having St John’s Ambulance at our Festival once again in November.
RBTB presenter was Nick Ikonomou who shared with us his family history spanning Greece, Poland and the eventual journey to Australia. Nick also talked about his career path from chartered accountancy to his position today as a corporate leadership coach. I’m sure we would all agree that this was an outstanding presentation and a demonstration once more that some of the most captivating stories can be found within our own RC membership.
