Alios in fine form!




We all, including several visitors and spouses, saw around 26 of us enjoying camaraderie, good food and just a little reminder of what Rotary is all about....planning future events and assistance to the community, interesting potential future friends & members and having a social time together, as a close group of friends, who are here to help....together.

John O'Brien managed to get a substantial discount for our Wagyu Beef burgers and sausages from the butcher at Stocklands.

Thanks to all those who made it happen!
