We had a huge success at our latest BBQ cooking stint at a farm clearing sale. Thank you to the owners of the farm for giving us the opportunity to make well over $700 for our causes.
President 2025 26 and President Elect, 2026 27, Ben Zappelli, is off to Fiji on a Rotary trip. We wish him well and look forward to hearing the latest news.
Our latest donation of $1000 to Interplast, brings our total to $13,000. Well done everyone.

Thank you to John Blane for our raffle prize. We wish you a speedy recovery and hope to have you back soon.
Well done Trevor McLaren on picking 9. There will be a scratchy for you at our end of footy season breakup.
Trevor moved to 3rd spot after a great week of tipping. Lyn Crook remains in top spot, with Paul Walsh a close second. These 2 are not very loyal to their own teams, Carlton and Collingwood, picking them to loose!!! Ben is in line to take our 'the kiss of death' bottom spot.
By the way, not many picked Geelong to win last night!!!! Cowards!!!
Thank you to Amanda and Paul who gave us the good news that we can get out our painting clothes and await our next instructions to get a blue tree at the local Barongarook CFA site
"Why is that tree blue?..."This question sparks a conversation that can change everything. Blue Trees, standing across the globe are powerful symbols of mental health awareness - silent yet unwavering reminders that you're not alone.
