Rotarian Alex Anderson reports that the Christmas Gifts donated by the members of the RCME at our Christmas Party/ Dinner Dance on 30 November were distributed to local schools on Friday 13 December.
Alex and several police delivered the gifts to four local schools:
* Mount Eliza Primary School
* Kunyung Primary School
* Mornington Park Primary School
* Mornington Primary School
The gifts were selected to go to children in specific need. One of the many recipients was "Chantelle", a young lady in Year 5 who is being cared for by her grandparents as her own parents are dysfunctional and not able to look after her.
All of the contact points are known to the Police, and some Rotarians, as schools with a number of disadvantaged children.
The gifts were greatly appreciated by principals, teachers and other staff at the schools.
Alex was assisted in the distribution by Senior Leading Constable Greg Krause (Paul Harris Fellow) from Mornington and Senior Constable Neil Prosser from Somerville who is the son-in-law of Jan and Rick Berg.
