Last Tuesday’s Club Assembly was a discovery evening.
Discovering information about one of our members and looking Behind the Badge.
Rick Berry’s PHF Rotary journey really started with Apex. An interesting fact about Apex it was started by three young Geelong architects—Ewan Laird, Langham Proud, and John Buchan .
Apex was originally the "Geelong Young Business Men's Club" formed on 19 November 1930 because they were unable to join the local Rotary club due to its rule limiting membership to only one person per profession.
He is pleased that one has gone. Rick was DG of Apex Zone 2.
The Association of Apex Clubs of Australia historically utilized a regional structure composed of clubs, districts (led by District Governors), and zones (led by Zone Presidents).
In 1986/1987 Rick was on the Zone Two Board as one of a number of District Governors. Zone Two was in NSW. After that in 1987/1988 he continued on Zone 2 Board as Editor of the Zone Two Magazine for another year.
After retiring from the RAAF, Jan and I went into small business together (for almost 5 years). This was followed by over 20 years in a new career of Records Management, at Deakin University, CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory and Surf Coast Shire Council.
