After returning from a trip to Colombia to visit her mother, Diana Gomez-Fullaway presented us with a banner from the Rotary Club of Cali in district 4281 where she visited during her trip and presented them with one of our banners.

Anzac Day

Of course this week we also had Anzac Day. Once again a group of Berwick members made the pre-dawn trip to Bunjil Place to assist the Rotary Club of Narre Warren with their ‘Gun Fire’ breakfast. Following the dawn service, the breakfast caters for around 200 people for a sit down breakfast as well as the serving of some 300 sausages to those outside.  Rotary Club of Berwick members assisted with setup, cooking, foodservice and cleanup.     

Following the breakfast, Michele and I laid a wreath on behalf of the club at the Berwick Cenotaph, before attending the Berwick March. It was great to see our own veteran Andy Merrill participating in the march, and a mention in the speeches for Gary Cooper as one of those local veterans who had passed away since the last Anzac Day.
