I hope all members had a wonderful Easter with their families and friends.
Speaking of Easter, the Rotary family and volunteers were hard at work on Sunday at Perth Makers Market.
Magnificent weather brought out a huge crowd, and we were kept busy all day with our parking duties. A special thank you to all our Club members who assisted, ably supported by family and friends, and members of E-Club and Attadale Rotary.
