Vice-President's Comments
With impeccable timing RC North Balwyn’s two most recent meetings managed to bookend the latest Covid restrictions in Victoria – the first of these meetings was on the eve of the lockdown and then we were back in business on Thursday last week.
 
I was pleased to stand in at the meeting for President Greg Cribbes – he will be back next week.
 
 
And remember this year’s RI theme: Rotary Opens Opportunities which allow us to get on with what we do well; that is providing service for others and enjoying fellowship.
