On April 26th, 2014, from 6-10pm, the Perth Civitan Club will be honouring one or our very own Hometown Heros!
The Perth Civitan is celebrating an exceptional honour this year as one of our members, Bob Robinson, has been chosen as Civitan’s International President. This is a very distinguishable position and with Bob’s years of experience with the Perth Club, we are extremely proud of him and confident that he will represent our Town of Perth and fill the role with perfection.
The Perth club will be hosting a President’s Ball which will feature a Prime Rib dinner with all the trimmings and an evening of dancing. It will be attended by many local dignitaries and other hometown heros and will be open to the public. It is sure to be a great evening of fun!
In addition to honouring Bob at this event, the Perth Civitan will be taking advantage of a fundraising opportunity and directing any proceeds from the event to one of Civitan’s core commitments, The Civitan International Research Center.
