by Lorraine Clifford There would only be a handful of Hills’ residents who have contributed as much to the community as Mike Blair. His lounge room walls are filled with award photos of all types, from organisations including schools, the Hills Shire Council, sporting groups and Rotary.
they married in their early twenties. They lived in Auburn, in some old stables at Rosehill, Northmead, and then built the house in Baulkham Hills that they are in today.
“It was good at Rosehill, it was misty in the mornings across the whole racecourse and we used to hear the clop of the horses’ hooves as they were taken out for their morning ride,” Mike says fondly. They went on to have three daughters, Nicole, Michelle and Natalie, and have six grandchildren. I asked Mike what made him start getting involved in the community and giving so much of his time and energy to others.
“I became involved in P&C and sports activities when my daughters started school. I wanted them to feel totally supported as children, The first thing that and give them something that I had never had. A big learning from strikes you is the sheer ordinariness of Mike and I my life experience was to never underestimate the value of children,” says Mike. mean that in the nicest possible way! Public recognition has certainly not gone to his head. Involvement in local politics and the wider community followed. When I caught up with him recently he was dressed in his work gear Mike served as Deputy Mayor for two years and a councillor and but hadn’t made it to work that day as he was down with a cold from Chairman of the Australia Day Management Committee for 10 years. the Hills Cross Country Challenge the Sunday before.

mittee, Community Care Management Committee, Orange Blossom, Centenary of Federation Committee, and local Business Awards. “I joined Castle Hill Rotary Club when you had to be invited in by another member, quite different to what it is today,” Mike laughs.
Like all good stories, Mike started at the very beginning.
Mike has held almost every position in the club during his 20 years, and has championed the much-loved and popular fundraising event, “I was born in Bristol, England, and Mum had difficulty keeping me so she put me in an orphanage when I was seven. It was supposed to be the Tour de Hills Bicycle Classic. This event has raised more than temporary but I never saw her again.

Local residents called the nuns the Aeroplane Sisters’ because of the distinctive wide white cornets they wore.

in just three months she had traced the whereabouts of his mother. “Three months later mum passed away and I never got the chance to see her again. Me and Sue did go over there and meet my aunts and cousins and find out much as we could about my family. We also have a few photos now and some small trinkets that belonged to her,” says Mike.

Mike was guest speaker at a political event in Canberra focussed on child migrants, and was also a member of the committee managing the design of a migrant memorial wall at the National Maritime Museum in Sydney. In 2014 Mike was awarded the Senior Citizen of the Year Award for his commitment to the Hills community. I find it hard to imagine that one man has managed to do all these things whilst working as a builder and bringing up a family. In between his community work he spends quality time with Sue, his three daughters and six grandchildren.
“We are a very close knit family and I cherish that. My circumstances have led me to always wanting to be there for my family,” smiles this humble man. “He is never around!” laughs Sue, shaking her head at Mike. Through the dedication and commitment of Mike the Hills and the community at large is a much better place to live and learn.

gt Hannibal Shabaz called the meeting to order and proposed a toast to Rotary International; he then introduced Pres. Chris Dunwell who welcomed all Members, Guests Graeme Murphy, friend of George Biegalke and guest speaker Peter Kirkwood from the Hornsby and District Rotary Club. President Chris proceeded to inform all present with the following announcements; The Club changeover meeting will be held on 28thJune at the Castle Hill Country Club, an attendance list will be circulated at next week’s meeting, and the cost will be $50 per head. A two course dinner will be served. Pres Chris spoke of the forthcoming Christmas in July event (28th July) at the Glenwood Community Hub, Glenwood Park Drive, Glenwood and urged all members to seek friends to join in what will be a great night. Flyers were handed to the members for distribution in their community. Bookings can be made on line https://tinyurl.com/2017-Christmas-in-July further information on www.womencompassion.com.au Thanks were extended to Terry Ireland for completing the Bowel Care program this year, over 3000 kits were purchased by residents in Terry’s designated area. Thanks Terry for a job well done.
Sgt. Hannibal advised the members that he would be resigning from Rotary at the end of this Rotary year, Hannibal was inducted into Rotary in July 1988 and has been heavily involved during his 29 years of service, his pet project being organising members for the Christmas Day visit to our local Hospital. Hannibal spoke of the long distance he now travels to meetings each week from Terrigal, unfortunately he no longer has the home/ office in Baulkham Hills which was handy for the night’s sleep after meetings. Hannibal called for a volunteer to take over the Hospital visit program and Phil Davis quickly agreed to take over this event, thanks Phil. Being no further reports by members, Pres. Chris asked Sgt Hannibal to conduct the fine session.
