< Join the Fun Committee! We usually have meetings prior to the regular lunchtime meetings, bring your ideas for fun events. Get a make-up for attending meetings and fun events. Email Tracy to join or come to the next meeting -TBA.

Thank you to our website photographer, Ken Campbell. Unless otherwise noted these great photos of our meetings are courtesy of Ken, he's also clicking whenever he sees a Rotarian in action so say cheese when you see him!
