Did you Hear….E&OE
Another interesting meeting with impressive talks by the three young  people..well done to all concerned and  thanks to Graeme, Martin  and Co. for  transport and caring for and organising   them. They experienced Flower Farming , Green egg  production, olives,  Wi  Fi  Cropping and much more.
Please note that our Xmas Break-up will be at Peppa’s   Restaurant on December 15th, please put it in your diary 
Ploughman’s and Pav night was an outstanding  community event, the attendance was much higher than expected , the donations for  auctioning and raffle was also really outstanding,  Maryborough got right behind the event and Highland Society made a great effort ,the  talk on the trucking of hay  was very informative and Kate and her helpers did  a great job of raising funds with the Auction of 38  donated  items. 
I think that we will see Garry head off to the USA after Leigh’s  enthusiastic  Friday night  discussion on  football     ( including Aussie Rules) as it is played over there. Sounds  great fun.
Meryl will have a tub at the door of our next meeting , this will  enable  the ladies to dispose of the  surplus items they bought at the Auction on Friday night…seriously it will be there for us to drop off toiletries for the Salvoes  to  supply to those  in need of a bit of help….so don’t forget!!
The Maryborough District Hospital received  an  award  for supporting the  No Family Violence  program….also interesting that  Govt .is funding a Cat Scan Machine for them!
Peter Haywood has graced TV this week,,did you see him?  You could  be on Tv   on Sunday  November 4th  at 1.00pm at the Race track for  the Say No To Family Violence Race day….another for your diary.
Maybe RACV has given up on the Energy Breakthrough but we have not…..the roster is now  at our meetings please put your name down early to help with planning.. November 22nd  to 25t.
Finally , Fiji will never be the same with our Maryborough  foursome spending 10 days  there relaxing…enjoy Guys!
A separate article from Thea and Terry is included, it  tells  how they have benefitted from  visiting other Rotary Clubs, worth reading….pity we no longer call for make-ups!
