We received this wonderful letter of congratulations following the 7 Years Party:

Hi John,

I am working as a Mental Health Nurse doing much work with drought effected persons who are struggling with depression.

Yesterday afternoon we went to the 7 Years long event in Coolamon. What a wonderful afternoon we had. The steak sandwiches were superb. Coolamon Rotary did a wonderful job and each Rotarian looked to be having an enjoyable time.

My husband got some good pics for the local paper and I met up with some of the people who I had been working with. They were appreciating the stress relief the day offered.

Cheers, Lynne Henderson.

So Rotary 1 Lions 0. You can work it out.

Coolamon 7 Years Still Going Strong Party

Part of the large crowd estimated around 3,000 people who supported the evening to show the farmers in the area that people care and that we are all behind them with the drought now 7 years on.

One of the support acts for the main attraction was the band Rusty Shakes with Rotarian and Past President Jock Pearce at the drums.

The main act was Graeme Connors who gave a great performance of his style of country music.
