As my year draws to a close I would like to express my gratitude to all who have assisted with in seeing the “new” projects for this year come to fruition; being the apprentices that were supported to go to Fiji, the speaker night and breakfasts and the Torquay Rotary’s Fitness Park. What an achievement.
Having meetings at our emergency services venues was extremely valuable also and allowed for developing continued connections with these groups.
I would like to see as many make the effort to come on Thursday night to assist me in showing our gratitude to the sponsors that have particularly supported us this year. I believe to maintain good relationships with the sponsors is of utmost importance for coming years. Also the apprentices that went to Fiji will be speaking on the benefits they gained from our support.
Benefactors will also be there to receive their cheques from the monies raised this year by all of your efforts
Come and enjoy the camaraderie in a relaxed atmosphere. The Wyndham needs to know numbers by Monday.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you Monday night
