Dear Rotarians,
I hope you've all seen the email from Secretary Leanne which was sent on Friday confirming the settlement of the house at 1 Seamons Court, Endeavour Hills after many long months of hard work, working bees and some fun of course.
If you haven't already read the email, please check it out.
The week was extremely busy with our Rotarians hard at work and having fun along the way.
On Monday, Colin, Ben, Leanne & Graeme were assisting with the meal service at St. James Anglican Church for the very grateful disadvantaged community.
Then on Tuesday, we had 31 people attending our meeting, thanks to our members and our friends from Rotary Club of Casey for joining us at this very informative meeting.
Tanya Faulkner and Michelle Lewis spoke about their experiences as Rotary Exchange Students and also spoke about their passions.
We heard what it takes to become a 'body builder' but I'm not sure we any members who would be willing to take it on.
The RORPS playground harvest was well attended on Thursday. Thanks to the dedicated and hard-working team; our 'Friend of Rotary' Mel Bell, Howard De Zylva, Hans Van Dyk, Ken Tam, Brian Ashworth, Con Meehan, Terry Valentine, Wayne Jenkins (RC Mt Martha) and the contractors.
Colin and Leanne went down to check things out and take some photo's of our 'Rotarians at Work'. This playground is going to make some children in Cambodia very happy.
The Casey Operation Newstart Graduation Ceremony was held on Thursday afternoon and was attended by Leanne, Colin, Ben Plunkett (RC Casey President) and David Anderson (RC Berwick President).
