Rotary Program
PDG Brian Trenery thanked Rotarians who filled various roles while he was away escorting 22 Canadians through Victoria and South Australia looking at beef cattle. The Canadians commented that agriculture here is very different to Canada where in some parts it snows for 7 months of the year. Those thanked were:
11 Nov. Duncan and Andrea
18 Nov. Doug and Keith
25 Nov. Steve
And to Judy for inviting Jenny along to hear and participate in the program. Also, to anyone else who assisted (unbeknown to Brian) while he was away.
Brian is currently developing the program for the next six months and if anyone has any ideas or suggestions that could be included in the program, he would welcome their approach.
