It was another wonderful day filled with hard work at the
Bacon Buttie Stand on Thursday, with many of the volunteers leaving smelling like a bacon sandwich. The final numbers have not yet been announced, but it appears the team made around $1400 for the End Polio Now Campaign, an incredible effort!!
David Shackleton reported that "The spirit and enthusiasm generated, the fact that we had seven Rotary Clubs represented, and the goodwill created for Rotary was fabulous. The event was a great way to promote Rotary and to raise our profile. The sea of red shirts and the gazebo made a very positive impact on all who passed our stand. Thankyou all again for your participation, your energy and support. We are truly grateful"

District Governor Mark’s presentation was very focussed on the future of Rotary and a number of significant changes that are currently up for discussion. The next six months will be critical for the Club to fully understand the changes proposed.
