This week, our President, Peter Batten and fellow Chelsea Rotary Australia members met with City of Kingston Mayor, Cr Georgina Oxley at Chelsea Men's Shed Inc.
Chelsea Rotary Australia has been a long time supporter and were delighted to officially present them with a cheque for $2,854.24, well earnt funds for their support last year at the Kingston Farmers Markets.
The mens shed is located at 71 Catherine Avenue, Chelsea.
The gents are extremely handy if you have a project you need help with. Just this morning I picked up some shelves I needed resized but didn’t have the right tools to do a good job. They’re happy to help at extremely reasonable rates. To learn more about the shed, becoming a member, or items for sale click: www.chelseamensshed.org.au
