AUTUMN RACE DAY
It was 2 years in the making from one idea thanks to our Rotary Club of Stanthorpe Events Chair and Ballandean Estate Host Leeanne Gangemi.
After holding successfully 27 years of Opera in the Vineyard, this inaugural Charity Event needed to be a success or come up with something new. Everybody who attended agreed, this is a fun way to fundraise for Charity. We missed out because of covid19 last year, but this year, we got it off the ground and everybody had a great time and will be back with friends next year. Our MC PDG Ross Smith was exceptional and our Race Caller Ian Henderson kept the fun and action fast past and moving along. A great day. Thanks to all the Rotarians and Friends of Rotary for their contributions both in donations for the multi draw prizes, the winners prizes and most of all for their time planning, setting up and taking down. The new committee will begin planning in June for next year. Have a look at the photo album on our homepage website.

A science teacher tells his class, "Oxygen is a must for breathing and life. It was discovered in 1773." A student responds, "Thank God I was born after 1773! Otherwise I would have died without it."
