Wendy received her award on 18th September 2019. Wendy helped Lorri organise the first baskets of the most needed items for women from Starick who are setting up a new home. These baskets are donated to the women by Applecross Rotary. Wendy considers items which also provide the most value for the dollar. Wendy now keeps a list of suitable items. Lorri rings when she needs another batch and gives the number required and a collection date. Wendy and her staff are always very obliging and happy to do this for the Club.
