President Marion welcomes guests.
Rotary District 9510 Governor Paul Thomas AM and his wife Kathryn, Mia Mandara from City of Onkaparinga, also Friend of Rotary, Ian Rowley
District Governor Paul Thomas addressed the meeting, speaking of the various forms of volunteering and what we achieve as Rotarians.
President Marion also presented a cheque for $500 to Kathryn Thomas, as one of her projects this year is to fundraise for the Peter Nelson Leukemia Foundation. Another fundraising event will be the ‘Roundabout of Art’ where unloved donated artworks are sold to benefit the PNLF.
Phil introduced Ian Rowley who directed the workshop with liberal applications of choccy frogs.
Ideas flowed and were expanded on. Everything from a ‘funeral raffle’, cheeky calendar and crockery smash were offered up as future events.
