G’day mates
Do you guys still remember me? I am Hiro from Japan. I was in Mosman about 5 years ago.
I tell you a little about my life
I am in Year 2 at University and especially learning the Management organisation theory but as I am in the “Japan Uni” I am not very busy in terms of study
So what I do is club activities and a pet time job
I play the trumpet in a big band called
Bay Sound Jazz Orchestra- it’s fun
My part time job is I work at a kindergarten doing chores
I never forget to feel grateful for all of you and I hope Mosman club people are all healthy
Bye

Our past member Bill (William Downing) Walker has passed away on Sunday 11th November
|
Dr. William Walker
MBBS FRCSE FRACS OAM
The Amazing Bill Walker – 93 years young!
|
Bill was a Rotarian for almost 30 years, first in Newcastle and then in Mosman. He is a retired plastic surgeon who has operated for free in many places overseas with Interplast. Later he founded a program to bring children from overseas who couldn’t get surgery in their home countries. It was called ROMAC (Rotary Overseas Medical Aid for Children) later changing it to Oceania instead of Overseas.
|
Patients were referred by Rotarians and medical staff. Bill was on the District ROMAC board for many years.
|
After retirement from surgery, he discovered Masters’ swimming. For years he swam for about an hour, 5 to 7 days a week, at Balmoral and Mosman Swim Centre.
|
Bill won dozens of international gold medals and smashed several Australian records.
|
He had a bad fall last year and had never really recovered and recently went into BUPA aged care.
|
Sadly, he died peacefully on Sunday
|
Thanks to Clare to have made us aware of Bill’s passing

To Members – just a quick note to keep in touch now that we are trialling Monday Meetings at The Duck, vs our usual Tuesday Meetings. Many of us, and our families and friends have been touched by Covid which has affected attendance across the last couple of years. With the whole top floor made available to us on Mondays at The Duck we now have plenty of circulation space and room to spread the tables when seated so we hope that will allay any fears by members who have preferred to stay away from social gatherings.
|
My role at the moment is to keep in touch with all members – I can happily report that Seymour has successfully come through his heart surgery with a pacemaker – Mike and Sue have moved from Mona Vale to The Manor of Maybrook in Cromer (Gone Bush and loving it) – Charlie B continues to commute between Melbourne and Sydney to meet all social commitments – Dom and I were married in September! – and Ruth returns from her overseas travels during the month of October which included her birthday celebrations.
|
If you have some news to share do let me know.
|
If you wish to share your thoughts on Welfare and Engagement I would welcome your call.
|
Planning is underway for the Christmas Party – details to follow – we do hope to see members, partners, family and friends then!
