Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
(PE Liz remarks: our President Kevin is too modest to make his personal happy announcement that he became a 2nd time father on December 18 with the arrival of a beautiful darling 3kg baby daughter. Let’s join hands to congratulate P Kevin and Rotarianne Maggie and convey our warmest regards to the new mother.)
