ROTARY CLUB NEWS
It has been a busy week for Rotary this last week with two visiting Rotary clubs here to give support to the town and district. Eight members from the Rotary Club of Corrimal arrived in town on Monday to make up hampers and vouchers for families affected by the drought. Fourteen members from the Rotary Club of Liverpool West arrived on Wednesday and Thursday. They delivered Easter eggs to all schoolchildren in the area, including preschool and day-care children. The Liverpool West club cooked breakfast for the community at the Boat Club on Saturday morning, and the Corrimal Club handed out "goody bags" and free books. It was a picture perfect morning by the lake making our breakfast even more enjoyable. A highlight of the morning was the awarding of a Paul Harris Fellowship to Kerry Johnston in recognition of her hard work and hospitality to members of the Rotary Club of Corrimal who have been coming to the Naradhan area for the last ten years to help with work on farms. Congratulations Kerry.
All Rotarians enjoyed a meal at the Sports Club on Thursday evening, along with much laughter and fellowship.
Any farming families who would like to access vouchers (provided by Liverpool West Rotary Club) to spend in Lake Cargelligo can contact the Rural Financial Advisor at the LLCS. The businesses in town who receive vouchers as payment can redeem them at the Lower Lachlan Community Services.
