What’s happening at Ascot:

Ascot’s social dinner at St Ives on Wednesday night 1 August was enjoyed by 25 Rotarians and Partners. The menu lived up to expectations and our hosts Ron and Sue Alexander, Brian and Marlene Poole made very one very welcome. Sue did an outstanding job as a tour guide for those that wished to see their apartment in the St Ives complex in Carine. The amenities are second to none which includes not only the restaurant and café, an indoor heated pool, gymnasium and on-site hairdressing salon and lots of other amenities. Each guest received a nice St Ives carry bag containing information on St Ives apartment living. Bag will certainly be come in handy when out shopping The evening was a great success thanks to our hosts Ron, Sue, Brian, Marlene and Ascot’s Club Director Ros McLernon. See photos next page

LATEST NEWS AND INFORMATION:

INTERPLAST NEWS

As I reflect on the past financial year, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of Interplast’s incredible supporters. You have helped expand our impact across the Asia Pacific region. Through your generosity, you have played a role in enabling Interplast to deliver 86 programs in 17 countries in the previous financial year. While numbers paint one picture, the reach is far more significant than data alone can show. Surgery and post-operative care have enabled people to regain function. Rehabilitation has enabled young people to return to school and parents to find work and support their families. Local medical professionals have learned new skills, helping them to provide improved medical services to their people. Our supporters have touched the lives of thousands of men, women and children over the years. On behalf of our patients and local partner communities, thank you for your generosity. Prue Ingram
