WEEKLY message
Rotary Friends
Another great week with visits to Williamstown, Kangaroo Flat,
Echuca, Camberwell and Collingwood.
Each club made us very welcome and it is exciting to hear of the many
wonderful programs that are planned for the year. One of the highlights
this week was our attendance at Rochester's major event for the year,
the Farm and Road Safety Expo which this year was attended by 1400 mainly
Primary school children, 400 adults and 32 exhibitors. It was good
to see the avid attention of the children to the presentations by
the fire brigade, SES, police, safe houses and many other community
groups.
On Thursday we visited a combined meeting of the Rotary clubs of Brighton,
Brighton Beach and Glen Eira where the guest speaker was Her Excellency
Cristina Garcia Ortega, the Philippines Ambassador to Australia who
spoke of the similarities between her country and Australia.
This coming week we are travelling to Bendigo to celebrate the 80th
birthday of the Rotary club of Bendigo, the second oldest club in our
district.
I hope that you enjoy your Rotary club meeting this week
Enjoy your week in
Rotary.
DG John Wigley
