Rotary Club of Moora

Last night the Rotary Club of Moora held its Foundation dinner
an important event in the calendar with 60 guests who enjoyed
a meal and fellowship at the bowling club.
The special guest local man Phil Gardiner was the guest speaker.
Many years ago he was given an opportunity by the Rotary Club of Moora
to attend a business school in Switzerland which in turn then gave him the skills
to succeed in business.
It takes a village people to raise a child and that culture
makes regional living more exciting.
His message of equal access socially is a thought provoking one.
he was very grateful for the opportunity given many years ago
