Sister club proposal for Rotary

Malcolm Christie, father of South African exchange student Candice Christie, said he hoped to make the Rotary Club of Port Alfred in South Africa and the Rotary Club of Umina Beach sister clubs.

He said the reason behind making them twin clubs was to share projects, ideas and information to further advance international understanding, goodwill and peace.

Candice Christie was a youth exchange student from South Africa hosted by the Rotary Club of Umina Beach in 1990.

Candice and her mother and father, Carole and Malcolm Christie, are visiting Australia for the wedding of friend Stephanie East in the Hunter Valley on Saturday.

Candice is a lecturer in Human Kinetics and Ergonomics at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, and is now a Rotarian.
