Club News and Updates
President's Report
This week we enjoyed a fun and lively evening organised by Program Chair, Rotarian
Roger Taylor. The theme was “Know Your Music” featuring songs from the 60s, 70s
and 80s. Several members certainly showed their age — especially with their
impressive knowledge of the 60s era!
On Friday 11 September, our Club joined with the Rotary Club of Morwell to assist at
the Blue Light Disco being held for Baringa School and the Traralgon Special
Development School. This event has been coordinated by the Proactive Policing Unit
and was held at the Moe Town Hall.
Thank you to those who have volunteered to help.
This Monday night we will be welcoming a guest speaker from Willow House
Community Food Bank. This notforprofit organisation provides essential food relief
and also supports the community through mental health assistance.
