Tuesday 20th February 2018 - President Fran's Message:
What a Challenge BUT we were up for it! The Rotarians who fronted at the Challenge brunch did the club proud. It was fabulous to see young Olivia Huddleston and friend and Maddi Frazer helping out at one of the food stations in the big marquee. Thanks also to 2 friends Dinah & Tom Zabatka who popped in to help with the brunch. It was a new menu, thanks to Clayton and it was clear that the Hellers Bacon Overload was high on the ‘must have’ list. Well done everyone.
