Lawyer to head Rotary

Local solicitor Mr Alistair Knibb has become the newly appointed president of the Rotary Club of Umina Beach.

Mr Knibb will take over from outgoing president Mr Mike Curley in leading the club over the next 12 months.

The announcement was made at the club's annual change-over dinner held at Everglades Country Club recently.

Director of public relations Mr Geoff Melville said a number of local organisations had benefited from the work of the local rotary club.

"Outgoing president Mike Curley presented cheques to Central Coast Shelter's Laurie Maher for $3000 and REM's Doreen Janes received a cheque for $5000 to further assist scripture teachers at Brisbane Water Secondary College.

"Incoming president Alistair Knibb received the collar of office and briefly outlined plans for the coming Rotary year and introduced his new board."
