Last night we were privileged to have with us visitors from Bentleigh West Primary School. Parents and teachers associated with this primary school, known for its prize winning sustainable and ecological school programs for its students, saw a bit of what Rotary is about.
Rotarians hosted our visitors and presented the variety of local, national and international projects that were conveyed through reports on the 28th Annual District 9810 Rotary Conference. Through the presentation, visitors saw that Rotary extends far and wide than just local areas - that we are a world wide community service club that provides service above self.
The highlight of the night was Yvonne Beadle presenting to the Principal of the School, Jennifer Small, a brochure of the Operation Cleft program. As Bentleigh West Primary School was the first school to participate in the Spellathon (organised by Yvonne), a photo of her students now grace the front cover which will be seen across Australia.
A big thank you to all our parents and teachers for sharing our meeting with us; thank you to those who presented the report conference and a very big thank you to Gary Tishler for the organisation and administration of our accomodation and registration to this annual event.
