Many present and past club members attended the recent Celebration of Life Service for Ralston Wood.   Ralston joined Rotary in 1980, was a charter club member in 1990, club president in 1995/96, and a Honorary Club Member from 2020.  
 
He served in many ways including with Operation Cleft, the ANZAC Day school service, and the Grand Final Breakfast and developed many lasting friendships in the club.
 
Our thoughts are with Lorna at this time.
