After our last meeting, held on World Polio Day, the Board approved a donation of $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation for the credit of the End Polio campaign. The Board also approved a donation of $1,000 in recognition of Mental Illness Month to the Australian Rotary Health – Lift the Lid on Mental Illness campaign.
Next Tuesday, we start our new volunteering project at Ronald McDonald House with some members preparing and sharing a meal with House residents. The Club will supply the ingredients for the meal preparation which must be carried out on the premises.
