The Rotary Club of Dalkeith thanks you for your support and we hope you will all join us for another competition next AFL season.

SPEAKER: (Philippe Cheung, Boubakar Coulibaly) – introduced by John Lindquist
Philippe and his Chef Boubakar gave us an informative and at times humorous summary of how they came to Perth, Australia, and why they work so well together at Café des Delices.
Situated at the Dalkeith Village Centre in Warratah Ave. they talked briefly about how they tackled Covid, and the need to innovate and sell their products through different avenues and means. They were excited about the future and their plans to expand.
