Note from Editor,
Special thanks to the dedicated team of Rotarians involved, who worked through the long and drawn out process, and finally results.
Especially Irene with her determined nature, Bob and Peter who cautiously "volunteered" to help her and did a great job raising the funds to the target amount. The citizens of the Taieri and beyond owe them and all of Irene's committee their thanks.
