Rotary Club of Wandin

Ms VALLENCE: It is with pleasure I acknowledge the Rotary Club of Wandin and all the volunteer members for their incredible service to our community. I was delighted to attend the Wandin Rotary annual changeover meeting recently. I congratulate Dennis Hoehne on becoming president, and congratulate the outgoing president, Heinz Budweg, on his year of service. The Rotary Club of Wandin does so much for the local and international community. Last year Wandin Rotary helped fund and facilitate 44 children in the Philippines to undergo surgery for cleft palate. The club also organises the Wandin Custom Car and Bike Show—one of my favourite local events—from October to March, with thousands of people attending. The show’s success over the last few years has seen them raise and donate $70 000 to the Royal Children’s Hospital.
