GUEST SPEAKER:
Wayne Limbrick
 In 2008 visited South Africa with family. After attending a conference went on safari to Kenya and Tanzania. Decided to return and do something humanitarian.
Selected Umoja Orphanage in Kenya, and has visited several times.
To raise funds created concept of "Worlds Largest Dinner Party". First year had 50 parties over the world. In three years raised $35,000.
Then decided on an "East Coast Golf Classic" golfing from Shepparton to Bundaberg.
Unfortunately concept was not supported well by Rotary Clubs on planned schedule.
Have re-jigged the event with less venues with Golf Clubs support and seeking corporate sponsorship.
Event will be in May next year.
Wayne will return to Umoja in September next year, hopefully with funds raised.
