We had a combined meeting with Belmont and Mundaring clubs. All up, we had 40 in attendance, including several partners and a visitor from Armadale Rotary.

Dan reminded us that we have our Bunning Sausage Sizzle on Saturday – raising money for My Homes. Could members check the roster and ensure they are on time for their shifts. Members are asked to take onions home to be chopped ready for Saturday.
It was a lovely evening and something we should do more often.
