A recent email to the Club explains PP Ricardo Balancy's irregular attendance and period of absence from Rotary activities over the past few months.
Things have been hectic at the ATO since Ricardo returned to work in June and working from home only made it easier for him to work long hours, often until 10pm. However, he finished work at the ATO on Friday 27th November and he is now a free man. Ricardo is on leave for a month and will officially resign from the ATO in the first week of January.
If he thought he would then be putting his feet up for a while, he was wrong! His new grandson (Elijah Frankie Ricardo Andre Balancy-Corallo) had other ideas and decided to arrive some 5 weeks early!! His daughter was due to give birth on 31st December, but Elijah clearly thought it best to make the most of his grandpa’s free time!

While mother and baby are being cared for (pampered) by staff at the St John of God Hospital in Geelong, and doing very well, Ricardo and Lisemay are staying close by to support. They are also busy helping to put the final touches to their daughter’s Drysdale home, to welcome Elijah.
Ricardo looks forward to resuming regular attendance and engagement with the Club soon.
