We have had several members who have retired from Rotary over the last two years. Now that we have been able to see each other more freely it was great to be able to see them and present a plaque in recognition of the work they have done over the years for Rotary and also give them a certificate to show that we have planted a tree in their name as part of the GroTree project.

Past President Mandy Van, Past President Julie Stone Powell, Past President Brian Powell, Past President Pat Perrin, President Peter Mason, Bernie Mason and Past President Liane Corbett. These plaques and certificates were presented at Pat and Steve Perrin's home and there was a great deal of camaraderie as memories flowed.
Another Past President, Steve Perrin, was present and he showed everyone much of his cricket memorabilia, including this plate commemorating Sir Donald Bradman. Only four in the world I am told! (That is the plate - there is only one Steve Perrin.)

A week earlier Past President Victoria Crawford visited another retired member, Annette Billington, and presented her with a plaque and certificate. Annette is very happy to receive visitors and is especially pleased with her small but very lush balcony garden.
