Another first Friday Sizzle

Rotary, said someone, is not only about Bunnings Sausage sizzles!

While that is certainly true for RCG, we do appreciate them as our main consistent fund raiser throughout the year.
 
Joy Ferguson reports: Donation box - $37.85, BBQ profit $529.40
 
A very rewarding total for a Friday - I understand that the “A”  team worked with cohesion and efficiency - The “B” team worked diligently and with purpose to sell all sausages (except 4 cooked). Well done once again to all who participated.
 
Next BBQ is on Friday 2nd March at Thomastown

Saturday 10th Feb was the day for members and friends to meet for breakfast at Montsalvat in Eltham.
 
Food, fun, fellowship were all good.

After breakfast some of us visited the studios of Chris and Mary-Lou Pittard.
It was interesting to see some of the processes in the paintings and pottery being produced and to view the finished products.
