The Rotary Club of Bayside, (from the Brighton area) contacted District Governor Clive with these backpacks to distribute to fire affected school children. He passed the task of finding kids for the backpacks onto the Rotary Club of Benalla, who distributed them to all the kids at Greta Valley Primary school and Myrrhee Primary School.
Pictured are some of the children from Greta Valley inspecting their packs.
KIM SCANLON, Rotary Club of Benalla, distributed the backpacks to the Greta Valley Primary School and Myrrhee Primary school kids. They were VERY well received. The smallest kids had the packs on their backs within a couple of minutes and a couple of them spent all lunchtime with them on their backs. They wouldn’t leave them alone, as you can see in the photo. A great treat, that made 50 kids very happy. Well done. February 2007
