Contact: Kerry Kornhauser Founder & Chair Women In Rotary President Rotary Club of Albert Park STOP PRESS: Bare Foot Bowls 29/11/13 postponed From DIK: Fellow Rotarians All, I have now been advised that a date for the delivery of the beds to St Vincent's has now been firmed up. It is now confirmed as Monday 30 th December! Previously, the beds were delivered over 2 days enabling us to fill the 2 X 40 ft containers similarly. This time the intention of the bed supplier is to deliver all 100 beds in the single day which will call for a considerably larger number of volunteers if we are to do the same thing and take delivery of all 100 beds and pack them in the single day. What the DIK store now needs is your confirmation of availability on Monday the 30 th December for the day to complete the task. I recognise that it is the holiday period and that might make it more difficult to get the number we need but on the other hand, it might just enable others to assist where the earlier date was during a normal work period. Regardless, can you advise your availability to be available on the 30 th December to deliver this task. The destination of the beds is still Chile and The Philippines. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Bob For the DIK Team.
