It is noted with great sadness the passing of Mr. Pierce John Grenfell, PHF.
Past President and Charter Member of the Rotary Club of Eaglehawk.
 
 
 
Pierce (or Mr. Grenfell to so many of us who grew up in Eaglehawk) was a Charter Member of the the Rotary Club of Eaglehawk, serving as the club's President in 1969/1970, a former Councillor and Mayor of the Borough of Eaglehawk, a returned serviceman, long standing business owner, trading as Grenfell's Butchers in both Eaglehawk's CBD and in California Gully.  Pierce was renowned throughout the area for his involvement in the Eaglehawk Citizens Brass Band, his tireless work within the community and in his later years, for his daily walks around Lake Neangar.  Pierce's 100th birthday last year was testament to how highly he was regarded with an endless stream of messages of congratulations from throughout the community.
 
We extend our sincere sympathy to Pierce's family and friends.

What to know more about this fantastic program?  Interested in joining us on the night?  Then simply contact us and we'll let you know how you too can attend to hear from these outstanding students.
 
This week sees a night dedicated to the packing of the Prep Packs.  A goodie bag filled with fun and educational items that will be distributed throughout our local Primary Schools to each Prep Student.  These packs specifically designed for the preppies to take home, enabling them to continue to develop and learn with parents and family members. The kids love them, and the parents get to join in, play games and see first-hand their child's development.  This project is being delivered with the support of a district grant from the Rotary Foundation.
 
 
 
A brilliant start to a fabulous day.  The weather, the food, the company - all a great combination to kick off a day of fundraising for the Bendigo Imagination Library Committee.  Our club provided Egg & Bacon Sandwiches to make sure all the golfers were well fed before teeing off.
