It's been a few weeks now, but we thought it was still timely to share this and put a full stop on our recent wind-up.
On July 13 we attended our parent club Rotary Club of Nunawading's meeting and gave a presentation highlighting our great achievements over the years, and shared messages from past members.
We also gave a few small chocolatey gifts to some of our biggest supporters along the journey, many of whom are pictured here, including our support crew and past Rotary District 9810 governors.
Thankyou to everyone who has supported and been a part of our satellite club over its four years of existence.
Over that time we've raised about $20,000 for various causes and projects in our local and global communities, won district awards and appeared in national publications.
Rotary Districts and Rotary Special interest Groups provide a wide range of informative and engaging on-line magazines and journals. Access some of them from the links provided..
