Justin Schonegevel,a Wynberg Rotarian, and Lee Bergman, Wynberg Rotaractor, were presented with Citations for their exceptional dedication to the youth, at a meeting of RC Newlands Youth Services in September.
Justin Schonegevel : RC Wynberg
Past Rotaractor and now a Rotarian, Justin is the Adventures into Citizenship and Interact Training Workshop Champion, who has taken both these programmes to new heights and in so doing has fostered great working partnerships with RC Cape Town and Rotaract. Together these two leadership programmes oο¬ered over 230 young people in Interact, this year alone, the opportunity to understand their roles in society and in Rotary.
Lee Bergman: Rotaract Wynberg, past DRR
Lee does not know how to have a weekend like normal people, or even normal Rotarians. If heβs having a braai, itβs because itβs a project, if heβs doing DIY, it’s because itβs a project, if heβs having a party, itβs because itβs Uncle Paulβs, if heβs away for the weekend, itβs because itβs a Rotary or Rotaract Conference, if heβs exercising, itβs because itβs the Cycle Tour/marathon /Two Oceans, and if itβs anything else, you can bet heβs designing the Youth Service website, or new banners for District, or the artwork for some Rotary function, or training Rotarians on social media. Lee put the face of Rotaract into the Rotary /Rotaract Partnership and reminds us to become the place Rotaractors want to move to when they leave Rotaract.
