RC of Waverley - Pingpongathon Event
The Rotary Club of Waverley will partner with P4T Inc to combat Modern Day Slavery by auspicing a Pingpongathon event on Sunday 29th October at the High Street Road Uniting Church, 482 High Street Road Mt Waverley.
 
This is a great opportunity to engage people from across all age groups in a Rotary project. District Clubs are invited to send a representative to participate in this event to see how it works with the view to you running a similar event in your own club/community.
