Relay For LIFE
This year the Moorabool Relay For Life will be held on the 18th & 19th September. By moving the event to the weekend before the Footy Grand Final the volunteer committee have been able to secure Maddingley Park in Bacchus Marsh for all future events. 
Everyone is Welcome! Last year over 500 local residents enjoyed the FUN & Festive Atmosphere of the 18 hour fund raising event that supports the Cancer Council’s research, education and support programs. It’s now a good time to start planning your involvement in this year’s event. Click the link to ... join the Rotary Relay Team |

President Geoff welcomed Keith Currie to the club. Keith was born in 1953 in Tokyo. It is said his father was a spy at the time. Later the family moved to Canberra. Keith studied science and is now an Assistant Principal at Bacchus Marsh Grammar School. (Gee another educator, that takes the club to over 10% of our members from the education field). Keith is not new to Rotary having been a member of Gawler Light, and Albury clubs. He has had lots of experience in the student exchange program. Our club is looking forward to Keith’s contributions. There was almost a blood letting as our President with Parkinson’s and Keith’s sponsor James with optical challenges tried to put Keith’s pin on him.
This week the Alf Wignell award was presented to Peter Shilton by last week’s recipient Emma Done. She felt Peter gives Great Service to Rotary with his wonderful program work, supplying speakers that give her an opportunity to hear about subjects she never would have come across in her everyday work contacts. It makes her Wednesday nights a highlight. Emma also included organising the Bunning’s BBQ rostering and onion cutting.
