Hello Rotarians and Friends

 

Before l start, the first thing the club did was a one minutes silence for the passing of Les Liddell, Les was one of the first to start the Dromana Rotary club, he was a charter member, a Paul Harris Fellow with many awards, he was a wealth of knowledge in the operating of the club and its rules and regulations, he was from what l was told a very good mathematician,  he will be sadly missed.

The Funeral was on Friday 13th Jan at St Marks church at 2pm followed by coffee and nibbles at the Peninsula club Gibson st Dromana, all available members were asked to attend and David Jarmen was going to give a talk about Les at the church Service, as David was also a chartered member of our club.
