Another busy weekend for our Unit, with members sharing helpful tips with students and the public at the Rotary NQ Field Days, conducting maintenance activities at our HQ building, and undertaking Fit for Role assessments. There's always something to do but from the smiles on everyone's faces (even when they're working hard!), it's clear our volunteers love doing what they do 😊
