Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (19:26:38):

I inform the House of the eightieth anniversary of the Rotary Club of Hurstville. Hurstville Rotary was chartered on 2 September 1939, and since then it has been tackling a broad range of issues facing our community. The club's focus is community involvement, working with the public to produce hands‑on solutions and create lasting change. It has a loyal volunteer base and there are now over 1.2 million members of Rotary International. Some of Hurstville Rotary's recent projects include road safety programs for school kids, supplying beanies to service men and women, sponsoring the St George Men's Shed and fundraising for the cardiac unit and CTG machine at St George Hospital. On 2 September I was lucky enough to join Hurstville Rotary to celebrate its anniversary with a Diamonds and Pearls Evening at Club Central Hurstville. We were treated to a colourful night of dancing and entertainment. I thank all the organisers of the club's anniversary celebration and, in particular, Marion Smith and President Jan Gartrell. Congratulations to Hurstville Rotary.
