Please join us on Sunday August 30th for a picnic lunch in Katrina's 'Jelka' vineyards at Blewitt Springs. Bring your own food, drink, chair and/or rug - this way you'll be COVID safe and your needs should be perfectly met.
If you'd also enjoy a bush walk, join us for this beforehand too. There'll be an easy option and a slightly more challenging bush walk as well. What's easy and challenging is each walker's perception of course... but we shall try to satisfy.
Use the attached flyer to welcome some friends who may also be interested in the Rotary experience. It's not intended as a member 'press gang' but rather offers a taste of Rotary and a good time (especially those aged 30 to 60). So feel free to invite others from your network, maybe include your adult children and their friends. Young children are also welcome of course.
So we can ensure an enjoyable experience, please email me by 16th August to let us know you're coming. Ring me on 0488 0000 50 if you have questions.
For the benefit of members, we will aim to give the Duty Roster a few weeks ahead - see below.
