President Michelle colour theme is red, plus a different seating format and an enthusiasm that certainly portrays a positive start to our club Rotary year. I am sure her wish to support a school that has less than minimal infrastructure for education, in the village of Thang Pakistan; will be achieved. Big Jaffa confectionary also was a meeting bonus.
