Men at Work...for DIK

Recall DIK (Donate in Kind) is a District feature centred around a warehouse store in Footscray.  There goods (generally excess to conventional public needs) are collected by or donated to Rotary  and stored, then  periodically assembled into crates for offshore destinations in need of specific items. 

Hawthorn RC  is a significant player in a monetary sense we contribute about $3000 p.a to rent the warehouse.

However more directly often the muscle(?)  of our members is called upon to move items.  Most recently some of our members were at Caulfield Hospital loading and moving some donated beds.  Others helped at the warehouse.

One wonders how many found of them found a bed a useful interim resting place to catch one's breath.  

Pursuant to Gordon Cheyne's contacts with District this is becoming more frequent.   Perhaps we need a " Men at Work" placard to bring out from time to time.  Oop's sorry Anne, in these days of chairpersons, etc   " People at Work".

Here are some of our workers posing/in action.
