  My wife Toni and I would like to register our appreciation with Rotary and the City Central Branch specifically for its support of Storm the Stage over the last 4 years and in particular the last 3 years when our daughter (Elisabeth) has been involved. The opportunity to be involved in such a well run event presents participants with experiences they may not otherwise get. Not only is it challenging to the entrants through the ‘gentle’ application of competitiveness, it brings with it the opportunity to learn from well credentialed and experienced judges, whom we have found to be encouraging and nurturing in their adjudications and back stage conversations. Add to this the wonderful experience of meeting like minded young people with similar ambitions it amounts to a pleasurable experience. I know Elisabeth has appreciated all that she has learnt from the event.
  To Paul Sayer and his group of hard workers we say “well done”. In times of economic crisis it is difficult to drum up enthusiasm for the Arts as it can possibly be seen as frivolous when hardship is being experienced in other fields.
  Sadly Elisabeth’s competitive association with the event has come to an end but she is richer for the experience and I am sure she will be an avid onlooker in years to come depending on where her ambitions take her.
  Thank you all so much.
  Phil and Toni Hickey (and Elisabeth)
