EIME, Brian Eric
I am fortunate to be a fourth generation Eime that enjoys being involved and working for the Blyth Community. Born and educated at Blyth Primary School and secondary education at Scotch College, Torrens Park. Following school education, I was invited to join the Clare Rural Youth Club. The pledge recited at the commencement of each meeting went something like this, " I promise to do my best to lead a clean and honest life, to help others at all times, so help me God". Rural Youth was a wonderful organisation that installed many skills for life, including supporting the community. Positions held in the community include President Tennis Club, Chairman Blyth School Council when Kybunga transferred to Blyth, Chairman of the Institute during the addition of the annex, President Bowling Club three separate terms and treasurer six years building new shelters and replacing green . As a former Citizen of the year I would be honored to represent the Northern Ward of Wakefield Regional Council.
