The Spirit of Woman Place of Courage
On April 3, we continued our ‘catering’ support of the Spirit of Woman’s project in placing ‘Wave Rock’ sculptures in various sites around metropolitan Adelaide. These are designed to be places for quiet reflection regarding the various aspects of Domestic Violence in our community. This one, with the support of Port Adelaide Enfield Council, has been placed in the beautiful Stockade Botanic Park, Northfield.
SOX & JOX APPEAL 2024
A beautiful Autumn day on the lawns of Plant 4 at Bowden saw the Regency Park team set up a colourful display promoting the club’s many projects and providing opportunity for people to drop of new socks, jocks and non-perishable food items for those supported through the Service to Youth Council’s, ‘The Foundry’ and The Junction Centre. While there they could learn about Rotary.
Thanks to all who participated.
