Our guest speaker Anton Hockey from Road Safety Education Ltd gave us an interesting and challenging talk on the RYDA program, a pre driver course for year 11 students This program was originally developed by a Rotary Club in South Australia. The course will run in Warrnambool this year and seems like an opportunity for Warrnambool Rotary Clubs to make an important contribution to the life of young people in our district. Thank you, Chris Stebbing, for being chairman.
 

We were pleased to welcome Margaret Ross's guests, her son Andrew and grandchildren Elisha and Elio, and thank you to Elio for his very good question. I was sorry I didn't have some of my grandchildren there to hear the talk.We had apologies from Judy Ross, Svetlana Lineham, Cathy Bligh, David Brown, and Brian Trenery. Trevor Williams is on leave of absence until September.

Thank you to everyone who helped with the book sale, made contributions to the raffle, and rounded up their friends and family to give us a hand with the set up. It was clearly our best book sale ever with a profit of $7016. We will have a clearing sale probably on the long weekend in June. A special thank you to Peter Headen at 3YB FM, Lillian Altman at The Standard and Julie and Gavan Dwyer from the Warrnambool Club. We all enjoyed our evening with Jock Serong and the insights he gave into the life of an author.
