Parkes Action Club along with the Quota Club of Parkes combined with Rotary to organise the dinner and host guest speaker Kay Hull.
Kay is a former Australian politician who was the first female NSW National to be elected to Federal Parliament.
In her address Kay spoke about peace; about the value of the young people to our communities; about reconciliation with Australia’s First Peoples; and “the good old days” that were perhaps not as good as we sometimes like to remember them.
Prior to the dinner Kay visited the Parkes Rotary Peace Precinct.
Following her address she was presented with a canvas of the First Peoples’ dendroglyph that is installed at the Precinct to thank her for visiting Parkes and her presentation.
Quota will organise a combined service clubs dinner in 2019, followed by the Action Club in 2020.
