Sausage Drama
Yannick (our Club’s Fundraising Committee chair) thanks everyone who volunteered for the Waurn Ponds Bunnings Sausage Sizzle on Sunday 2 June.
The day’s effort raised a net $1,500.00 and for those Cats fans, that included an order of 4 snags and onions from Tom Hawkins!
Editor’s question: Did a WAG get a snag?
So, if you want to be in the scene and mix with the stars, get yourself on the roster at the next Sausage Sizzle on Saturday 6th July in Leopold!
To volunteer, go to Clubrunner or contact Yannick.
Rotaract News
Brendan Holland on behalf of the Rotaract Club of Barwon invites members of our Club to attend the upcoming Rotaract Club Changeover.
This event will give us the opportunity to thank Michelle Conner for her year as President and wish incoming President Duncan Silcock all the best.
The event is on Saturday 29th June at 5.00 pm at Little Creatures, 221 Swanston Street, Geelong.
We can order food and drinks ordered off the menu at our own expense.
This year, the Rotaractors are aiming for a relaxed social and informal changeover event and will have a short 15 – 20 minutes of changeover formality before enjoying the vibe and atmosphere of Little Creatures.
We are encouraged to invite anyone along who might be interested in meeting the Rotaractors and joining Rotaract.

Vocational Visit and Pride and Professionalism Award
Members interested in attending the presentation of Pride & Professionalism Award to the Andrew Love Cancer Centre (“ALCC”), please advise Warren Norton by email (
wnorton@iprimus.com.au) of you intend to attend.
The event will commence at 11.00 am on Thursday 27th June.
There will be no tour of the new facility, as it is used by patients during the daytime.

We then have an opportunity to speak with a number of people who work in different fields within ALCC.
