The theme of our last meeting was to celebrate 117 years of Rotary as an organization and their service across the globe. To celebrate the day, Nilda baked an amazing Pavlova cake which was enjoyed by everyone attending.
We had a few fellowship events during the month of February and one of them was to celebrate the birthday of our current President Kathy Hall on the 16 Feb 2022 at Caroline Thai.
Ross and Annette Butterworth celebrated the birth of their granddaughter on the same day. How amazing is that? Congratulations to the grandparents and the parents. We also had a great time at Tenpin Bowling at Watergardens and everyone showed off their skill at hitting all the ten pins down. Well their skill improved as the game wore on. It was followed by dinner at Watergardens. A great night had by all.
