... but what a great time was had by all. We had a full house on Friday night and plenty of exhibits. People contributed in the most imaginative and humerous ways.
There were representatives from Can Assist, Cancer Care Western NSW, Cancer Support Services of the Orange Health Service, COTA - Council of the Aged, and Orange Prostate Support Group. Brochures and educational material was provided by Lifeline, Beyond Blue, Andrology Australia and Exercise is Medicine.
Dr Tim Nicholson, Urologist, opened the exhibition and told excellent jokes, while Rodney Hammond, Chief Radiation Therapist, gave a really informative and interesting presentation on Saturday including exclusive pictures of the new linear accelerator. People were entertained by Donna Riles on the piano on Friday and Cedric Inman's band on Saturday. Opening night food was provided by Pro Vista and wine was donated by Jarretts Winery, while Quota International Orange provided food on Saturday. Thank you too to Orange City Council for subsidising the cost of hiring the Function Centre.
Thank you to all groups and individuals who contributed to make it such a wonderful event, including some from Qld, Vic, Sydney, and western NSW. Exhibits were provided by Orange Public School, Anson Street School, OCTEC Youth Connections, the MW CAG O'Brien Centre, Wahi-Win Migay Aboriginal Weavers Group, Orange Art Society, Orange Spinners and Handcraft Group, Orange Art Society, 50+ Senior Citizens, U3A, and Colour City Creatives, and of course Rotarians. We had excellent coverage from the newsprint, radio and television media outlets in Orange.
Especially, thank you to the Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak who volunteered so much time and effort.
