Epic Day of Service—Penny Paxman
Penny, along with 8 Rotarians from Yea, coordinat-ed a meal for the fire victims in the Yarck area. 38 locals came along to the Yarck Hall, where they were served a BBQ (thanks Darryl) and desserts made by the Yea Rotarians. The locals really appre-ciated the hospitality and opportunity to come to-gether with the burden of supplying their own meals. A Certificate of Appreciation was presented by Yarck coordinator, Sharon Fox, to thank RC of Yea.
