Make Up Department
Because the Vocational visit to the CADET Centre at Deakin University was not a scheduled meeting, those who attended are eligble for a make up.
Members are asked not to notify their make ups on Whoozin.
Please notify your make ups to Satbir who then records the information and includes such in our report to the District.
Ride The Bellarine
It was The Ride The Bellarine last weekend with 13 members volunteering for the event from our Club.
Please pay your sponsorship money before 1 May to the Club cashier.
Ross Taylor says:
It is not too late to donate to the Ride the Bellarine - End Polio Now event if you have not had time or been around to make a pledge. This can also be done via the cashier.
So far, some $1,555 has been pledged by our members to End Polio Now. Most of these pledges has been paid. It is a magnificent effort & a sign of an extremely generous and supportive Club. Thank you every one.
We are still on track to raise $20,000 across the 15 Groups 9 & 10 Clubs.
