Paul Harris founded Rotary in 1905 and this recognition is the highest award that the organisation can make to a non-Rotarian.
Jeremy was humbled to be recognised in this way.
“I think we all have a duty to do what we can to help our community and I am always happy to get involved wherever possible to make a difference,” he said.
“I am very grateful to Rotary for this honour.”
In addition to his MidCoast Council role with the theatre, Jeremy is also known for his time at 2RE and MAX-FM and his performance as Bert in last year’s Mary Poppins production.
He is a man of many talents and contributes greatly to the community.
When Jeremy came back to the Manning region in 2011 to take on the role with council, he brought with him a wealth of experience in entertainment and events, including his role as the deputy head of operations for World Youth Day in 2008 when Pope Benedict’s visit was broadcast to a global TV audience of 500 million.
His many years of experience with complex, high-profile events means he’s often the ‘ideas man’ when it comes to organising local community events, and is often consulted on the best way to engage people of all ages in ways that bring everyone together.
Jeremy’s media experience has also means he doesn’t shy away from the limelight and often kindly donates his time as MC at local events, including the recent Rotary Conference held in Taree.
Governor of Rotary International District 9650 Maurie Stack said, “Whilst we are all in awe of Jeremy’s talents on stage as an MC and as an actor and of his passion in his position as manager of the Manning Entertainment Centre, not many people are aware of his extraordinary background.
“We are very lucky to have him in the Manning Valley. Jeremy is a true legend.”
