Rotary spots were given by:
- Steve Barilla reported that whilst the numbers were down at the Swapmeet our stall did well, but with some sausages and bread left over. However, these items were used at the Spring Fair the following Sunday and both events produced a turnover of $2395 giving net profit of over $1700. Added to this the hire of the shelters returned $563, so from the two events we raised nearly $2000. Steve asked all those involved to stand and receive a round of applause.
He went on to say that he and Grace attended the RYLA Awards evening. The club sponsored their daughter Gabriella to attend the six-days’ camp
Gabbriella & Steve
