So at last weeks meeting we had a very eventful night which was a very full and enjoyable evening.
 
We started the night by handing over some cheques to worthy recipients that had been granted funding from our end of year financial distribution as determined by our Board some of which came as a result of suggestions from our members
 
The first recipient was Paddy's Kitchen which is connected to St Patrick's School in Pakenham and feeds the homeless and needy. 
 
 
We then moved on and presented a cheque to the Pakenham Dance Studio in support of their Special Needs Disco.
 
 
We then moved on to present a cheque for a special project to produce Calico Bags, for a DIK Project, which are filled with school supplies.
 
 
This was followed by a presentation of a cheque to the Magical Getaway Foundation who provide Holidays for disadvantaged children who have never had a holiday.
 
 
After dinner we were then provided with a talk from the three young ladies that we sponsored to attend the recent RYPEN camp and they told us about their experiences at the camp and what it meant to them.  it was a very interesting talk by the girls and all that attended were pleased that the girls had gained so much.
 
  
 
The evening was then finished off by the presenting of a cheque to the CEO of Millhaven Lodge with the funds to be used on the purchasing of special weighted blankest to assist with the care for residents with Dementia.
 
 
All in all a really good night was had by all and it was rounded out with another brilliant Sergeant's session by Graeme Begg that had everyone in fits of laughter and definitely increased the amount of money available to be distributed to a worthwhile cause recommended by our out going Sergeant .
