A Triple Treat Induction!
This week we had the pleasure of inducting 3 new Easties into the Friendly Club!! We welcomed Rae Macleod, Leon Punton & Kylee Ellerton into the big world wide family of Rotary! Kylee is new to Rotary, Leon is actually a former Eastie and Rae is a former member of the Wendouree RC.
And to add to the excitement, one of our newer members David Stokes gave a very interesting 'what we didn't know about him' talk.

Lots of hard work goes in to this event, however the outcomes more than compensate for that. We expect to clear around $5700 which will go back into the community.
Thanks to all who supported us over the weekend.
During the week, Marg presented Jane Verberne with a certificate of appreciation for all her wonderful assistance with our very successful Trivia Night.
Larna Woodyatt, a Nurse Donation Specialist, spoke at the Club recently to keep us up to date with Organ Donation.
You can contact Larna on larnak@bhs.org.au for anyone who may have any questions.
