Co-President's report
The Co-Presidents have been busy this week including at the Camp Getaway working bee along with other members of District 9800 Rotary Clubs. With no Club meeting this last week they have taken a short break from their weekly report. They will be back next week.
Co- President Adrian did advise me that the working bee at Camp Getaway was successful with a lot of clean up around the camp achieved, along with some site preparation for the planned games room construction. The games room is a Rotary Bendigo centennial project.
Ray and Adrian look forward to seeing you at theindustry visit on Wednesday morning (for details see below).

Anzac Day Dawn Service Breakfast
Thank you to all of the members who were up early on the 25th to help our Club support the Bendigo RSL by cooking sausages for the Gunfire breakfast. Kevin R was prepared with a marquee in the back of his car, but the weather was kind and presented us with a very mild still morning.
A large crowd was present to remember those who have fought and died in the many wars that our country has been involved in so that we may live in freedom.
Lest We Forget.
Phil, John H, Glen and Kevin D getting them cooked.
