President Wendy

BBQ at Bristow-Smith Reserve was well attended by Rotarians, although community attendees were down on numbers. Perhaps we should advertise the event in the future…? Special thanks to Jim for his organisational skills once again.

The after party held at Di’s was a lovely event & well attended, thank you to Di & Michael for feeding us fantastic sandwiches, sausage rolls and of course providing great wine & bubbles. We had perfect weather & the band played softly in the background.

We have agreed to cater for a BBQ to be held at Abbott Reserve, Middleton on Sunday 7^th March. This is in conjunction with the Middleton Town & Foreshore Association. Helpers are needed – BBQ trailer, cooking, serving and making salads.

Certificate of Appreciation received from Rotary Club of Campbelltown on behalf of the Committee of the Hawker Drought Muster. The Drought Muster was also awarded the Australia Day Community Event of the Year from the Flinders Ranges Council.
