G'Day, Mate!

Aussiea
Greetings were in order when a Rotary Group Study Exchange Team from Australia visited the Jefferson City Rotary Club Monday, October 11. From right, team leader Gary Scuddamore and team members Ryan Golder, Aaron Wise, Jenny Poolman, and Mike Froggatt responded to questions after each telling Jefferson City Rotarians a bit about themselves and their hometowns.

  • Gary and his family raise cattle, sheep and dry-land crops near Goondiwindi, an agricultural and transportation hub in Queensland.
  • Ryan is part owner/operator of a recreational vehicle park, also in Goondiwindi, and is developing an artesian spa in conjunction with the park.
  • Aaron has been with an accounting firm in Stanthorpe, Queensland, for four years and helps work his parents' cattle properties on weekends.
  • Jenny is a senior constable with the New South Wales police force, currently stationed in Tweed Heads near her home in the coastal town of Pottsville Beach.
  • Mike, from the Gold Coast, serves the Queensland Police Service as a detective and is undertaking post-graduate studies toward a Master's in Criminology.

Welcome to all, and a hearty "G'Day, Mate" from the Jefferson City Rotary Club.
