Rotary Club of Lilydale
Ms VALLENCE (Evelyn) (13:21): It is with pleasure that I acknowledge the Rotary Club of Lilydale and all the volunteer members for their incredible service to our community. I was delighted to attend the Lilydale Rotary annual changeover meeting recently, and I congratulate Ann Wheeler on becoming president and congratulate outgoing president Ron Haines on his year of service. Lilydale Rotary’s monthly craft and produce market has been running for over 10 years and has raised over $140 000, which has been invested in various Rotary projects. Last year the club helped drought-stricken farmers in Victoria by purchasing and delivering around 100 bales of much-needed hay to rural communities. The club has also donated sailing boats to enable people with disabilities to get involved in sailing at Lillydale Lake. Thank you for your hard work and immense contribution to our community.
