Our Projects
Clean Up Australia Day
It was a great day to be with my fellow Rotarians and clean up the Ponds Walk trail at Eric Mobbs Memorial Park on Marsden Road in Carlingford.
 
Together with Mike Morgan, Bass Bhaskaran, Philip and Cristy Newall, and our President Sudhir Mooray we collected rubbish through the park. We retrieved a large tyre, two chairs, front bumper of a car, a large television, and several bags full of rubbish.
 
It felt good to give back and help our community in a relatively small way.
