Peter asked that people get behind Rotarian Sarah and support the Documentary "Her name is Celeste" showing at the capital cinema on Wednesday evening.
The books have been boxed, thanks to those that have assisted Deb and her team. Tony has secured a 40 foot container and is working on the logistics of moving the books to the Showgrounds.
I have got into the habit of collecting bottle tops and finally found a place to take them to; the Archie Graham Centre.
I mentioned last week that there had been a meeting of the four Warrnambool Rotary Presidents. The following discussions took place:
Daybreak Club:

Brian Trenery gave a talk on Rotary Fellowships. He gave a brief history of Rotary and how it was establishsed to provide fellowship and networking opportunities. There are over 100 active Fellowships and 60,000 members. Brian is in the Scouting Fellowship.
The Fellowships are affiliated with Rotary but have their own administrative structures and oversee their activities and events. To set up a Fellowship one needs to attract at least 25 members from 5 countries. Members are encouraged to join a Fellowship of their specific interest. Ann Donaldson is considering joining the Quilters Fellowship.
Member Announcements:
Ken once again asked for interest in attending South West Health Care Service facility in the coming weeks. People who have indicated their interest in attending should meet at Cooper Street at 10am.
