Garden Party November 4th.
Garden Party
The Rotary Club of Elizabeth combined with the Rotary Club of Playford for a Garden Party at Lesley and Robin Trevilyan’s home on Sunday November 4th. Lesley, member of Elizabeth Club had proposed the idea in the previous year; this Rotary year her husband Robin is President of Playford Club, so it was an ideal arrangement. The charity decided on by both clubs for support from this function was the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and with donations from both clubs and with ticket sales, a donation of $1000 was forwarded to the RFDS. The above article, by Natalie from Two Well Echo, recognised the event.
