Graham Purdy joined the club in 1992/1993 with the classification of Real Estate - Finance.
 
Graham served as a Director only once but this led to a position on the District Committee which organized the Rotary National Science and Technology Forum (formerly known as Siemens Science Experience). This program provides an opportunity for young people to gain a better knowledge of the courses that they wish to follow during their tertiary education.
 
The ‘live in’ program targets outstanding science, technology and mathematics students in year 12 who are returning to year 13 at their secondary school and seeks to enable them to concentrate their efforts in their chosen field.
 
Graham quickly became the coordinator for this program, a position that he held for 6 years. For his services to this program Graham was named a Paul Harris Fellow by Rotary District 9920.
