Mohamed has a visual disability and our Club s carousel disbursement will contribute towards his school expenses this year. And amid a whirlwind of red, we welcomed Kate and Cody who told us about the revamped PR image for both RYLA and RYTS. A reminder that applications are now being sought for young people about to enter year 12 to attend the National Youth and Science Forum (NYSF) in Canberra. If you know of a young person who may be interested, please contact Andrew Middleton for more info. Carousel The Carousel is back with a bang with record numbers over Easter, the Commonwealth Games and the SuperNova last weekend. A huge thanks to all our volunteers for the hard work you do. If you aren t doing Carousel shifts, please consider this as the proceeds from your shift enables us to help others in our community who need support.
