THE CANDLE FESTIVAL TAIYAKI TENT
Bill is getting this event organised and will be calling for helpers in the near future.
 
WODEN DAYBREAK MANGO FUND RAISER.
What could be better than ripe Mangos for Xmas. The Club sources high quality Mangoes from a grower in Queensland and all indications are the Mangos are looking good this season. The expected pickup date is the 16th of December but this could be later if the Mangoes do not quite ripen properly. You can order through Trybooking in the link given below
 
 
The cost is $27.00 per tray of Mangoes. I bought them last year and they were great.
 
Yours in Rotary
Russell Dew
