24 Rotary Melbourne Members and friends staffed a drinks station at the Melbourne Marathon on 10 October 26, from 6:00 to 10:30am and we provided water to runners doing 10k, 5k and 3k runs raising funds for The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program. Our sincere thanks to Jim Orchard for organising the opportunity.
