Happy New Year from the Mitchell Rotary
Club for everyone & we look forward to a wet
& prosperous 2020. The Club is looking
forward to a year where we hope to get a few

the community. We are now combining with
other Clubs in our community to achieve our
goals. So far we have partnered with the Fire

Maranoa Regional Council funding &
