DG Howard, Jenny, President Ian and AG Brenda |
Well, I thought by the time we arrived at our 59th visit we would have experienced everything we could experience. But how wrong could I have been.
Gloved up! |
We arrived at The Ronald MacDonald House where we met with the leadership team - although there was a little wait as the key was returned from Johnsonville. It is a brief but valuable session addressing challenges of membership and profile in the community. We then left and had a brief tour of the premises and was then given a quick summary of what service is provided to families and the challenges faced with raising the funds ti rebuild the facility situated opposite the Wellington Hospital. Mt Victoria Club has a good relationship with Ronald MacDonald House, with their annual sunflower project contributes towards this charity which provides home-styled accommodation for parents beyond a 100 km distance from the hospital.
Following a brief ride, we arrived at the local MacDonalds by the Basin Reserve (where I was as an 'extra' on Sunday). Before sitting down to a meal, I was ushered behind the countered, and complete with apron and gloves, was shown how to assemble an Angus Burger
Who is prepared to eat my 'creation' |
Before leaving, Jenny was given two wonderful sunflowers and we promised to return later this month in their normal venue - the Wellesley Hotel. This certainly was an experience we will remember for a while with our friends at Mt Vic.
