A spontaneous act of kindness
Lynne Hanratty from Kilmore made an inquiry through the Clubs Web site just a few days ago:
"I used to donate knitted jumpers and beanies to Donate in Kind in Footscray. Unfortunately my husband is ill and I can't travel there from Kilmore. I have about another 30-40 such knitted goods and was wondering whether a Rotary member could collect them from my home and deliver them to Donations in Kind."
