Meals on Wheels
From "A History of the Rotary Club of Brunswick" Golden Jubilee 2nd edition, 2003:
1958-59
District Governor: Joe Bradbury (Rotary Club of Essendon)
President: Doug Hemingway
Secretary: Bob Ferguson
Treasurer: Peter Hogg
During this year the "Meals on Wheels" project commenced for the "Incapacitated Elderly Citizens" of Brunswick. This was established with our Rotary Club organising through the Red Cross to deliver the meals to the various homes.
The Club also provided the insulated food containers for the hot meals to be provided.
We believe that Brunswick was the first Rotary Club to start the Meals on Wheels programme in Victoria.
