"Further to my messages and your various responses, a couple of weeks have now passed and a number of developments have transpired.
As you will all appreciate, a majority of our volunteers fall into the vulnerable age groups of over 60 years or 70 years of age. The directions of the Prime Minister is quite clear - we should all be at home!
Since your responses a number of folk have decided that for a number of reasons, they have reconsidered their position (or have had it reconsidered for them!!)such that the roster is now all over the place .
In consultation with SecondBite Director, Simone Carson, we have decided this afternoon that we will cease collections at Prahran Market today so those of you rostered or volunteered for next Sunday and in the future will not be required.
It is with considerable regret and sadness that we have made this decision but I am sure that you will all understand why it has been done. Many of you have been collecting at Prahran from the very beginning - that's over 15 years of Rotary service. You should all pat yourselves on the back for a job well done.
So - this phase of this terrific Rotary project comes to an untimely end but I am sure that we will be rearing to go as soon as the situation changes and we can once again collect at Prahran. Any queries - please let me know and again- many thanks for your participation.
Cheers
Bob"
