The Stallman Family has given generous support to the Rotary Youth
Exchange Program.
Students
from Belgium,
Indonesia, Brazil,
Canada and Sweden
have shared the experience of the wide open spaces of Australia,
with a visit to the farm at Condamine, Queensland.
We are grateful to Bil Stallman for this link to the family Home Page:

Death of
Megan Stallman in tragic accident
The heartfelt sympathy of the
Club goes to PDG Ken and Betty Smith, the
Stallman
family and other loved ones in the tragic death of Megan in a
vehicle accident
near
Condamine on 2 October 2002.
Megan was loved and respected
by all who knew her. She was sponsored by Coomera Valley
Rotary Club as an exchange student to Japan in 2000. This exchange
followed a year in
Belgium by her sister Kelly in 1998. Her grandfather, PDG Ken Smith, is a
highly respected
Rotarian and a member of the Parkwood Rotary Club.
We all deeply grieve
the
tragic loss of such a beautiful young lady who had so much
to live for. She had all the attributes of her family with the highest standards
of character,
citizenship and service. It is very sad that her life was prematurely
terminated.
May
God's blessing be with Megan's family as they acknowledge her
accomplishments
and find the strength to accept her passing.
(Note by Ken
Alderton: The funeral service held on 8 October was beyond belief.
What
must be the largest Church in Toowoomba was absolutely jam packed and the eulogies
delivered by Megan's friends, her mother and sister and a representative
of Coomera Valley
Rotary Club and the feeling they generated in the audience were indicative
of the
impact that Megan made on people.)
