'Madam President' Judy Greer shares her award with first gentleman and husband Rod. 177836
Judy’s our champ By Mandy Oakham Meet Ocean Grove’s first lady, Madam President Judy Greer. You name a voluntary organisation and Judy has probably been the president of it, and in recognition of more than 48 years of volunteering and general community heroics she has been recognised for her work by
the Victorian Government. This month Judy was one of 60 volunteers from all over Victoria to receive recognition through the Premier’s Volunteer Champions Awards scheme. Working alongside Judy during those all those years of service has been first gentleman, and first and only husband, Rod, who
himself has presided over a few presidencies of his own. Both were teachers when they first married and they spent many of the first few years working in different country postings around the state and volunteering just became part of establishing themselves in the new communities that they found themselves in which included Sale,Stawell, Wedderburn and Camperdown.
“At Wedderburn they had a pool but no swimming instructors, so we started up a swimming school and used to do that on Sunday mornings for the kids before we went to church and... er... yes on the way to church we used to water the local tennis courts!” Judy laughed.
