Posted by Rob McLennan on Mar 10, 2019

I have just helped with today's Bread Run and it was great to catch up with David Riggall (who left Womad to assist and was then returning) and David & Betty Rowe. Our club organizes a roster of members to collect unsold bread from Bakers Delight in North Adelaide who donate it and allow us to be able to supply Ronald McDonald House, Catherine House and the Adelaide Day Centre ( Moore St. ) every Sunday evening.

Our meeting last Thursday was the final one at the Royal Coach and finished on a high note with the two students from Marryatville High School addressing our meeting, who we assisted financially to allow them to attend the Annual National Youth Science Forum in both Canberra and Brisbane. Once again, the students highlighted its success and confirmed that our club is spending our funds wisely in sponsoring them to attend such an event.

I visited Don and Ellen Tindale for afternoon tea on Thursday and I am glad to report that Don is reporting improvement.

Monday 11th. March marks the beginning of World Rotaract Week.

This Thursday is a coffee conversation at 9.30am. at the Stables in Victoria Park and everyone is welcome.

Our next meeting is on Thursday 21st. March at the Ibis Hotel in Grenfell St. at 7am. for 7.15am.
