President Sharryn had the great pleasure of inducting Vince Dijkstra as the newest member to the Club. Proposed by Arie deWit, Arie told of Vince’s arrival from the Netherlands in 1986. He was a well-qualified horticulturalist and florist and set about setting up his own business in the Bunyip area.               
     Over their 25 year relationship Arie had often spoken to Vince about Rotary and so when Vince retired 3 years ago to Waterford Rise, he decided to pursue other interests, including community service which led him to Rotary.
     In his response, Vince expressed his gratitude for the way he had been received on his visits and now his induction into the Club. He said he already knew several members “and they seem like ok people” and he looked forward to getting to know everyone better over time. Along with his wife, Vince has two sons and two grandchildren. He is also looking forward to being able to travel now that he is retired.
