Dear Members and Friends,
This week Kellie Wishart, CEO of CareNet, spoke to us about the need for food relief in our community. Our Club has donated to CareNet, along with Doncare and Ajani, as all of these very important organisations support our community on a daily basis. As she spoke about plans for the expected surge in demand over the Christmas period, Kellie left us thinking hard about how some people are doing it really tough.
Club member Luke Bastian has arranged a large number of food boxes to be distributed to various organisations and people. If you can help us to fill these boxes with food items please let us know. Esther's email address is esther@rotarymanninghamcity.au. We can organise to get boxes to you and can also pick them up if you are reasonably close.
We also recognised club member David Grieve who is leaving us to move to New South Wales. (See some more about David below.)
Next week we are at Doncaster Secondary College for the Grand Final of the District 9815 Primary School Speech Competition. Thirteen schools will be competing including four schools from the Doncaster/Templestowe area. We hope you can join us from 6.30 pm to hear some outstanding presentations from these amazing primary school students. All are welcome.
Have a great week,
Esther and Anthony
