Our Club was fortunate today to be able to hear Leigh Woodgate speak about her journey through life after a catastrophic injury sustained during a jumps race 25 years ago. There are times in life when you are brought back to a very level playing field and today was certainly that day. Leigh's eloquent address was motivating, awe inspiring and from the heart. An extraordinary lady who continues to win against the odds! Thank you Leigh for sharing your story with us you are exceptional.
The Hat Day Lunch Fundraiser was well attended by members, Rotarians and friends. The ballroom at Kooyong was abuzz with fellowship and everyone entered into the theme for the day with hats of all persuasions. 122 people attended the lunch and the funds raised were far beyond our expectations.
A very big thank you to the organising Committee Ngaire Cannon, Sue Rush, Sue Zidziunas, Julie Clark, Lynda Shore, Henry Drury, Jane Drury, Katrina Flinn and Kim D'Arcy for all the hard work to make this event happen. Thank you also to Mark Christoffelsz for being the MC, Delphine Genin for Judging the Hats and Jonothan O'Donoghue for conducting the Auctions.
Kind regards,
