The Sheriff

Our Speaker

Win a new Audi |
"The Sheriff is not that common today; is it a perception or has it been superseded by another function?"
The mission of the Sheriff’s Office is to protect the New South Wales justice system.
The vision of the Sheriff's office is that :
- all participants in the judicial system can access their rights in safety;
- the public trusts the integrity of the jury system;
- the community is confident that the orders of the courts deliver justice; and
- our people are well trained and highly motivated to achieve our Mission.

Imagine driving away a brand new Audi, or wearing an 18 carat gold watch or owing a $10,000 share portfolio! And it is all for a good cause.
Plus we'd really appreciate your support for our great Rotary projects this year. Tickets $100 each - great value and a great gift idea.

Since 1960, the Rotary Club of Sydney has presented its Vocational Service Award annually to a person who has given notable service to the community through his/her vocation. The award is normally made at a Club meeting in March each year.
Nominations for this award are open to persons who in the opinion of the Rotarians who nominate them, have not only achieved success in their vocation, but through such vocation have rendered outstanding service to the community. The purpose of the award is also to direct attention to the vocational service aspect of Rotary ideals. It is open to anyone whose vocational activities have been carried out within the City of Sydney or the Sydney metropolitan area (but not necessarily exclusively so).
Call for Nominations - by Tuesday 29th January 2008
The Club is now calling for nominations for the award. Members of the Club are invited to suggest a suitable person or persons for nomination.
Award Criteria
- The Service-above-Self nature of a nominee’s activity in their vocation
- The community value of a nominee’s service in their vocation
- The regard in which the nominee is held in their vocation
- The regard in which the nominee is held in the community
- The good character of the nominee
- The positive public relations effect on the vocation resulting from the nomination
- The availability of the nominee if selected to accept the award
