High Tea
High Tea
What a busy week we had with many members helping to decorate the Christ Church Hall on Friday 23rd May in readiness for the Bayside Rotary Club’s High Tea function on the 24th May. The hall looked magnificent.

Then we were all back again early on Saturday 24th May to finalise all the food preparation so that the High Tea could be served as the guests started to arrive.

Volunteer Coast Guard
Volunteer Coast Guard
We attended a presentation by the Volunteer Coast Guard based at Queenscliff.
 
Their motto is “safety by. all means”.
 
Our thanks go to Flotilla Commander Michael Donohue and his team for hosting us that evening.
 
It was very interesting to hear that all team members are Volunteers who perform many boat rescues in the Queenscliff Port area and in Port Phillip Bay and the Heads area.

We were also escorted to the boat that is used in rescues and had the opportunity to ask many questions about the boat itself and all equipment that contributes to safe rescues.

The evening was completed by enjoying fine wines and a delicious supper provided by the Rotarians present
 

Christchurch BBQ - Homeless
Christ Church BBQ for the Homeless and a night off for the CC volunteers.

The previous Monday we helped out at the Christ Church BBQ in feeding the homeless and happy to report we fed over 55 people of varying ages. Some came back for food 2 or 3 times.
 
It’s where there is a friendly face and people know your name.
 
I suppose when you are sleeping ruff, that can mean a lot. 

Thank you very much to everyone that had a part to play, I think everyone in the club helped in some way, so very much appreciated
