President Kay says this was a highlight of her year. She thanked Allan first for initiating, and driving the event.

Allan made all the games as his original set had been given away to a school several years ago. He is one of the many gems of our Club. Barbara, of course, is always right there in support literally helping to make money and typing lists, amongst other things. Philip Whearty, the amazing entrepreneur that he is, printed a great deal of money. The setup was led by Bryan, Allan, and Peter with several others. Bruce kept his treasurial (Yes, that is a word) eye on the financial side of the proceedings. Euon’s fantastic auctioneering skills saw bottles of wine being sold for a thousand dollars. The croupiers had a lot of fun hustling business for the various games: Rachel (Roll of the Dice), Graham Craig (Pontoon), Bryan (Roulette), Dexter (Chocolate Wheel), Bruce (Horse Racing), Kay (Two-Up) and Peter (Slater Racing, Technical Manager and Animal Trainer). A big thanks has to go also, to the punters. You were great – losing and winning large sums with abandon. Spot prizes were handed out. From a very strong field, Jenny Lucas and David Knight won the Best Dressed Woman and Man respectively. Perhaps we should have had a prize for the best dressed/coordinated couple as there were several.
The buzz, laughter, shouts of triumph or dismay punctuating the balmy air were testament to a very enjoyable evening. All in all, an evening to remember. Thank you, Plimmerton Rotarians and visitors.

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’.

I am sweet when it suits, I look adorable and my caregivers tell me I am, but if I have had enough fuss, or I see another cat, I have another side. I am looking for someone who can speak cat, who can read cat, and loves me for who I am. I hate other cats, and would probably make a dog's life unpleasant. I am looking for a home with older children, or just adults, who will love me for who I am. If you are still reading this, then please click apply now so my caregivers can find out more about you, and can make you an appointment to come and meet me."

"We adopted this sweet girl, who now is called Lola. She is absolutely cheeky, playful and full of life. She’s so good with toileting and eating. She naps for super short periods and then has way too much energy 😂 She has settled in well to our home and has certainly made it her own.

She naps for super short periods and then has way too much energy 😂 She has settled in well to our home and has certainly made it her own. Lola finds our rainbow lorikeet very interesting and has tried many times to make friends with him. She’s growing way too fast for my liking in the three weeks we’ve had her."
