Energetic leader to speak over lunch

FORMER Telstra boss Ziggy Switkowksi will be guest speaker at a Greater Dandenong business luncheon in May.
Dr Switkowski’s theme will be Climate Change and The Role of Nuclear Energy in Australia at a business lunch at Sandown Racecourse on Friday, 11 May.
The function is being organised by the Dandenong Rotary Club.
Dr Switkowski was recently appointed chairman of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation and previously chaired the Prime Minister’s committee of inquiry into nuclear energy and uranium mining.
Dandenong Rotary Club president Peter Davidson said he was looking forward to a well-attended function, particularly in view of the current public and political interest in climate change and alternative energy supplies.
Mr Davidson said all net proceeds from the lunch would be donated to selected welfare and community organisations in the Dandenong region. Further details and registration forms can be obtained from either Peter Davidson on 9813 8079 or club secretary Ron Anson on 9707 4080.
