MEMBERSHIP
Chris Sayers has asked me to take over
membership for the next couple of months
while he sails around South America.
It's time we had an injection of some new
members. Let's aim to get 6 new members by
the end of February. We have a couple of
great speakers coming up on January 16th
and 23rd. A potential member is free.
Someone in your street, at work or an old
friend - just invite them out for the night and
see what they think.
Give someone else the chance to enjoy
Rotary.

Frankston Council’s Community
Event of the Year
David and Anita Cross were on hand to
accept the 2020 Community Event of the
Year award on behalf of the Friends of
Wallace Reserve at Frankston Council’s
Australia Day Ceremony. The award was in
recognition of Schools Tree Day, held each
year at the reserve in conjunction with
Frankston Heights Primary School. David
and Anita started the Friends Group in 2005
and in 2007 we approached the school with
an idea to celebrate National Schools Tree
Day jointly at the reserve, and 13 years later,
we’re still at it. Over the years, students have
planted around 5,500 seedlings in the reserve
in specially prepared areas; as well as tour
the reserve and discuss aspects of our
natural environment.
Anita and David with principal Cheryl and
teacher Tai. Bunnings BBQ Dates For 2020
