Hi Dennis,
I would like to thank you and Diamond
Creek Rotary for all your hard work in
running the town fair, it was great to be
part of this amazing event. Thank you so
much for providing the site, tent and riding
tickets to include the Diamond Valley
Riding Program in the fair. Unfortunately
the heat kept many of our students at
home but those that did visit really
enjoyed the pony rides with the handy-
mount activities, dancing to the music and
climbing the rope structure.
Many Thanks Again
Robyn Griffiths and the Diamond Valley Riding team
Suzie Vincent Thank you, thank you, thank you to All the hard working loyal members of Diamond Creek Rotary... Another excellent town fair...

Jay English Thanks for the free ride tickets(once we got it sorted), and the look on my kids faces during the fireworks show, it was worth every dollar we spent while there. Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make it happen.

Cath Fisher Just got home with sore feet and a very tuckered out little dog. I love the new layout. Even though I searched and searched I couldn't find the lady who sells the lemon butter. But I still vote it the *best* Town Fair in many years. November 24 at 5:04pm

THE PRESIDENTIAL CROSS CHAT XRAY STEVE
As we head toward the serious part of the festive season we soon
realise how limited our time is as we start to try and squeeze in all
of the various social, family and work related functions that seem to
crop up at this time of the year, and if you are like me, cause you to
step back and wonder if it is all worth the effort. Well – most of it is
as we join up with family and friends that we may not have seen all
year, or start to prepare for that “one day in December” where we
bring great pleasure to our families, children and grandchildren
(any great grandchildren out there????) and can sit back in
convivial pleasure and let the festivities roll around you. It’s
something we all love doing, regardless of our religious
background, and the day allows us to relax a bit and enjoy the
festive season. All I ask is that we don’t overindulge on the day, or
the days following, and that we remember those less fortunate than
us who may not have family or the wherewithal to celebrate the
festive season. If you can help those people in any way please do so,
and do it with the blessings of the festive season.
Our Rotary club is also heading to the “end of year” break up but
that doesn’t mean that we will be slowing down as we wind up for
the year. Just to prompt your memories:
Tuesday (4th
) – dinner meeting - Foundation Night bring along
your 5cent containers.
This Sunday (9th
) – children’s Christmas party – come one come all.
Next Monday – (10th
) Rotary Town Fair wrap up meeting.
Tuesday (11th
) – dinner meeting at Nandos – we need numbers to
confirm the booking – also – it’s a partners night.
Tuesday (18th
) – final meeting – partners night.
Please make the effort to attend these meetings and finish the year
off on a high note.

Life Education Victoria launched their new
Van for this area at Yarrambat Primary School
on Friday 30th November.
There was a strong Rotary presence at the
launch with the Rotary Clubs of Diamond
Creek (Alan J and Pat), Greensborough and
Preston attending.
Two students from Yarrambat Primary School
spoke about the benefits of Harold and his
friends and values that Life Education teaches.
Very impressive new DVD presentations were
also shown.
Joe Di Natale, former member of the Rotary
Club of Diamond Creek, has been the link
between the club and Life Education Victoria.
In the past we have donated to them and also
hosted Harold and the Life Education Van at
the Town Fair. They are keen to come back
and be part of the 2013 Fair.
Life Education is a really valuable project for
the club to be involved with and hopefully it is
something that we can take up again.
