It’s hard to believe that this Annual art show is now in its 42^nd year. An initiative of the Rotary Club of Drysdale to raise funds to support projects and charities that fit with the Rotary motto “Service above self”.

It has gone from strength to strength to now being known as one of the most prestigious Art Shows in Victoria.

The official VIP opening is at 6.30pm on Good Friday but doors open to the public at 10am on both Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday at Christian College Sports Stadium, Collins Street, Drysdale.

SERVICE EXCELLENCE AWARDS

The Service Excellence Award is an initiative of the Rotary Club of Drysdale to acknowledge and encourage an awareness that service is paramount to good business and repeat business. Its prime question is “Is your business on target for providing outstanding service to your clientele?”

MENTAL HEALTH WE NEED TO TALK

Posted by Caroline Rickard

I am sure that in your lifetime you have known people that struggle with mental health issues and it is becoming more evident now we are talking more openly and acknowledging the importance of sharing our inner most thoughts. We can see a broken arm or leg but we can’t see the turmoil inside a person’s mind.

There are many initiatives being promoted and Rotary Clubs are making a difference this year by “Lifting the Lid” on mental illness. Locally you will see Rotary members “Pop up” in one of your local coffee shops. Make yourself known to the team and support the program.
