Presidential musings for the week!!
“In the dead of the night amidst all the confusion on viral and virtual, the Pres tentatively punched out his thoughts on the week that we had……….”  Well, that is enough for my creative writing.  During the week we were lucky to have Jeanette Leigh, the Networker editor, conduct a creative writing workshop on Zoom for Rotarians.  You must realise that as a science background educated chap, much of any creativity has been drummed out of me to allow the humanity buff’s minds to wander. So welcome to a further lockdown.

Farmers Market Paused for July
Well it might have been sunny for the June market, but the Covid-19 Pandemic has rained on the parade for July, forcing a closure of the Market this month. The City of Boroondara ordered the closure following the imposition of Stage 3 Stay at Home restrictions by the Victorian Government last week. So members rostered for the Market on July 18th can have a sleep-in. However please be sure to sign up for a market later in the year!
