We recently had Lisa Clark present at our meeting talking about
Backpack Beds for the Homeless.
A very impressive initiative that was undertaken by recognising a need and then going on to design a product to fill this need.
Almost 35,000 Backpack Beds have been provided to the homeless across 8 countries and with over 750 homeless agencies across Australia provide Backpack Beds to street sleeping homeless people in need.

Suspension of Club Meetings and Activities
President John Jones, in consultation with the Club's Leadership Team and in consideration of the information provided from Rotary International and Rotary D9800 has from today suspended our club weekly dinner meetings until further notice. The Board of the club will continue to meet as needed to ensure the club continues to meet any financial obligations and in so doing will also ensure we keep the best interests of our members, families and our community first and foremost in our minds.
