ROTARY CENTENARY BATON LAUNCH
ROTARY CENTENARY BATON LAUNCH
What an experience for all those who attended the Rotary Centenary Baton Launch which was held online from Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and London. There was emotion, inspiration, joy with amazing messages, appreciation and outstanding singing. Nearly 900 Rotarians attended with hundreds of personal messages from attendees around the world. Amazing. Reminder: This event would not have happened without our Hugh Bucknall and his team!

CARAVAN UPDATE JULY 2020
Jim Orchard has provided an update on Bushfire Caravan project: "Caravans are going well - we have funding for 12 and a bit (there are 14 in total), 9 have already gone to folks without housing and we have names for the remaining five. Volunteers have taken 7 vans to either Bairnsdae or Wangaratta but might be a bit more difficult now that we are back in lockdown. Very positive feedback and a good example of lots of different Rotary clubs working together." Thanks Jim.
