Since my last edition of notes Robin and Rhonda LeGallez, Roxanne Rowland, Rob and myself attended the District Changeover welcoming District Governor Marie-Louise Lees. Robin received an award for the work he does at District level. Congratulations Robin the Award is well earned.

Rotary members Jacquie Best, Jack Reddin, Sue Foster, Andrew Heard Marg Whitehead, Steve Hobbs, Brian Tucker and his brother Merv have received recognition in the Australian Wildlife Conservancy Magazine for their work at Kalamurina.  The article noted that they had never had eight volunteers on site at the same time. “Once the volunteers found their rhythm a significant amount of work was accomplished. One of the big jobs scheduled was rebuilding the roof of the science shed….it was a particularly big job and would have taken a very long time without thee volunteers.  The Rotary volunteers also paved the front of the lunchroom, fixed approximately. 3.5km of fence lines painted and installed a fence to the veggie patch.”

Wow! What a great effort - well done!
