President's Report June
The year has gone very quickly and there is always more that you wish that could have been accomplished. However I think we can look back on our achievements and know that we have made a difference in the lives of many people especially in the areas of education and health.
It has been a year touched with sadness with the passing of PDG Lawrence Atley and Sika Kerry. The death of Diane McGrath was an enormous shock to all in the club and she is sadly missed at our meetings. Our thoughts are still with Peter as he learns to live without his Diane.
I look forward to the coming year with Bob Newman as the incoming president. We already have major projects underway with the Footscray Art Prize Dinner to be held on Saturday 5th August and the online fundraising for the Horn of Africa Project already showing great success. The cost for sending the containers of medical equipment will be reached within the next few weeks. Donations can be made at https://chuffed.org/project/arwnegcuis4u7hl .
Our next event is our Changeover Night at the Yarraville Club on Thursday 29th June and I look forward to seeing everyone there.
