Vouchers are being distributed to a number of front-line respondents with Covid-19 and bushfire fighting activities. The people involved work as SES volunteers, Lifeline telephone councilors, Covid-19 testing and tracing teams and similar groups who have done a magnificent job over the last 12 months to help protect the community.

 Lifeline telephone councilors recognised:

Roger Gray (Balgowlah Rotary), Liz McDougall (President Dee Why -Warringah Rotary), Lindy Myers( President Balgowlah Rotary), Donna Favaloro (Lifeline Crisis Support Manager) and David Thomas (CEO Lifeline Northern Beaches)

And North Area Health:

Handing over vouchers to representatives of North Area Health

This initiative will benefit the restaurant trade and frontline workers in our area and hopefully boost Rotary image in the process.
