A special evening was held on Thursday April 7th 2022 at the Novotel Atrium Darwin to celebrate the Award Presentation.

Ray has dedicated many years to Rotary, particularly establishing, maintaining and growing Rotary and Rotaract in Timor Leste over the past 20+ years.

The Award was presented in Darwin with special visitors to Ray’s home club, the Rotary Club of Darwin, including District Governor Martti Kankkunen and Karen, and Past District Governor Jeff Crofts. Special mention also to Ray’s wife Beverley for all her support over the years.

This is Rotary's highest honor, which recognizes Rotarians who demonstrate Rotary's motto, Service Above Self, by volunteering their time and talents to help others. The award is internationally competitive, and is granted to no more than 150 Rotarians worldwide and our Ray was one of this elite group for 2022.

Beverley was presented a boutique of flowers by Karen Kankkunen for her years of support and encouragement. 

Thank you to PDGs Jeff Crofts and Joanne Schilling, and to DGEN Sabaratnam Prathapan for adding to the solemnity of the night.

District Govenor Martti Kankkunen- 2021/22 Rotary District 9560 and Rotary District 9560 Northern Australia and Timor Leste send their CONGRATULATIONS to Ray.
