Our Community Service Committee considers many areas close to home, working with individuals and organisations to help, support and deliver on local projects.

A party of 14 children were taken along with their interpreter and helpers to Drummond Safari Park. Along with fellow Rotarians, Ian Stevenson and Bob Abernethy and my partner Bob Douglas, we helped the children to go sightseeing, whilst Ian prepared the barbeque of Burgers, chicken, sausages and the usual rolls, onions and fizzy drinks; fresh strawberries for afters. The children were excited at seeing the animals and, once back at the barbeque, soon learned to ask for burgers please!  After the barbeque, we gave the children tokens to use on the fairground rides. These children do not usually handle coins as their currency is only denominations of notes.  However, they soon got used to spending the shiny gold tokens for fair ground rides. The day ended with another trip round the park to see the animals before heading back to Perth.

 May I again thank Ian Stevenson and Bob Abernethy for their invaluable support and Ian's wonderful skills on the barbeque.
