A lovely sunny and pleasant day saw Des M, John R, Ken Cross and Ian Metcalfe staffing the BBQ trailer for what has become an annual fixture for us, the Linden Park Neighbourhood Watch annual community BBQ. an easy gig for us but well appreciated by Neighbourhood Watch. Over the course of the event around 40-50 patrons from around the Neighbourhood were served, and our local State and Federal members came to support the event, as did Mayor Anne Monceaux. We took the opportunity to hang out the “Giant Hay Bale” drought appeal shingles and accumulated $105.60 in donations, within a gnat’s whisker of another full bale! And community events such as these are a great opportunity to put, The Rotary Club of Burnside in the frame to attract prospective new members (just ask Margie 🙂 – several people were engaged by members and friends about coming along to a meeting and giving Rotary a try.
