Rotary Peninsula 2.0 2025 Birth Tree Unveiling 🌳💙
The sun was shining, and there was smiles all round at unveiling of the 2025 Rotary Peninsula 2.0 Birth Tree and Family Garden on Sunday. It was such an amazing event, and the fact that it fell on Neighbours Day made it even more special!
A huge thank you to @rotarypeninsula for their ongoing support of our Can Swim Infant program. Your support helps more local children and families access essential water safety education, bringing us closer to our goal of Every Child in Frankston Can Swim. From those very first water experiences through to building lifelong confidence and skills, your contribution has a lasting impact. Thank you.
Congratulations @birthtree_frankston for another successful year! You can visit the 2025 birth tree and plaque at Montague Park in Frankston.
