From President David

It is always an enjoyable evening when we have some of our local apprentices attend for the Apprentice Awards. This year we had 3 awardees, and it was great to meet them and hear about what their plans are in their career and what they will use the Award funds for. Nigel Donne did a great job of running the evening and it was an enjoyable evening for all our members.

Next week we have our Rotary International Youth Exchange student Marie Witzel speak to us about her amazing year in Cambridge. We have invited her host families, and it will be a partners evening as well so let's give Marie a good audience for her summary of her year. This will be our last formal meeting before Changeover so it would be nice to have a full room for the occasion.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

President David

We celebrated the awarding of the Apprenticeship Awards on Thursday night. Nigel Donne introduced:

Sarah Rowlandson and her Dad Colin Rowlandson (Bo & Co Electrical)
Finn Seavill and his boss Ash Hammond (Cambridge Electrical)

Congratulations to Sarah, Finn and Aaron for this very well-deserved recognition.
