A number of members visited the Donations in Kind (website HERE) warehouse in Footscray to collect 3 pallets of Lego for re distribution to some worthy causes.
They were Peter and Linda O'Brien, President Grant Perry and Ian Ballantine.
Recipients were Scouts (Geoff Gartly), Vietnam Womens Assoc (Nicky Chung) and a range of local groups including Emerge, Family Life and Glen Eira Support Services.
It should be noted, of course that the Scouts and Vietnam Womens Association paid for their share but at a fraction of retail value thanks to the Club's membership of DIK.
It was a most rewarding day and we are grateful to Colleen D'Offay of DIK for arranging the pick up. Special thanks to Grant as well for providing his truck!
