Mr Chester said, "Gippsland Rotary Centenary House in Traralgon is the house that love built. For almost 20 years, it has been hosting patients receiving treatment at Latrobe Regional Hospital and their family members. For some people, it has meant the difference between receiving treatment and just letting their condition take its course."
"While I have worked with Rotarians to secure funding for capital works on two stages of the project, the recurrent costs require fundraising and it was wonderful to be in Bairnsdale for the Mitchell River Rotary Club's annual breakfast. Most of the people who stay at Centenary House live in East Gippsland, and it's terrific to see our Rotary Club volunteers working together to provide funding for this much-needed service," Mr Chester said.
