Paul Harris Fellows
As the rotary Club of Murray Bridge entered a new Rotary year beginning 1st July, we celebrated at the Bridgport Hotel with the recognition of several people as Paul Harris Fellows.
A PHF as it is often known is presented a person or organisation who has gone above that expected of them and "Done Good In The World". A donation of US$1000 is paid to the Rotary Foundation which continues the great works of Rotary International.
Congratulations to Wayne Rowland, Roger Wickes and Jacquie Best on being recognised with a PHF. John Scarvelis and Malcolm Blight received recognition of continued service with a sapphire being added to their original PHF.
Acknowledgements of outstanding service in the area of International Service were presented to Jack Reddin and Roxanne Rowland.

Music For Dementia Grant
“Our local Rotary Club of Murray Bridge, has used the project “Music for Dementia” under the guidance of Director Lyn Sickerdick, to seek out people in our community who are effected by the onset of dementia. This Project has been successful in finding recipients for the specially designed headsets with an inbuilt selection of music. Reports of how well this initiative has improved the well being of many who have used this music therapy, has led to a request for Rotarian Roger Wickes to seek further funds for this Project through Flinders University. A grant of $2000.00 is the outcome, and this will be used to extend the “Music for Dementia” service to many more deserving recipients.”
