Wahroonga
Rotary hosted a public flag raising and Australia Day observance at
Wahroonga Park, attended by about 400 Rotarians and members of the public.
The key
speaker was the Australia Day Ambassador to Ku-ring-gai Municipality,
supported by Dr Brendan Nelson,
Federal MP for Bradfield, our local State MP, Barry
O'Farrell, an honorary member of Wahroonga Rotary and Nick Ebbeck, Mayor
of Ku-ring-gai
A
flag raising ceremony was performed followed by three cheers for
Australia.
As part of the ceremony, a Citizenship ceremony was
held for over 100 new Australians.
As the
Wahroonga ceremony was held in the early morning of Australia Day tea,
coffee and croissants were prepared and served by Wahroonga Rotarians.
For the past eight years, Wahroonga Rotary has made this park ceremony,
including the citizenship ceremony, an annual event - a major Australia Day observance for
the people of our suburb.
