Ahoy there Lads and Lassies. Rotary is a wonderful organisation to do something good in the world using the power of collective collaboration. A couple of years ago, we had our line in the water to do a dental project, similar to the one we have done in Balibo - Timor Leste, and Gus's venture in the Solomon Islands but this time in Tonga. As part of the project, a fishing trip was planned, but COVID kind of stuffed up the mechanics! While the project still went ahead, the fishing trip didn't. To make up for it, Rotarian Roger Thornton, our District 9820 Donations in Kind (DIK) Chair, is putting together a fishing charter. Not in Tonga (as hoped), but sailing from Hastings in downtown Westernport Bay. The charter is booked for Wednesday, 30th November. The cost is $160 per person and includes a BBQ lunch. Anyone is welcome to join us who likes a social day out on a boat with a bit of fishing on the side. Our special inclusion to the fishing list is PP David Dippie from DIK. David is the guy who makes projects happen and went to Tonga to be part of this dental project. David is a wealth of information about the practical side of Rotary projects (if you are interested in learning something while you are fishing) Unfortunately for David, COVID stepped in, so no fishing while in Tonga for him! If you want to book in, please contact Roger Thornton by email at rogerthornton2010@gmail.com or give him a ring on 0418812652. Limit on the tour is 20 people. It is peak Snapper season, so what could go wrong?
