EastLink chief to address breakfast

BUSINESS people are encouraged to come and support the Cranbourne Rotary Club at its annual business breakfast.
This year’s event will focus on the new EastLink project, with guest speaker Southern and Eastern Integrated Transport Authority (SEITA) chief executive Ken Mathers who will talk about the project and how it will affect all Cranbourne residents.
Those attending will also have the chance to win a personal helicopter flight along the length of EastLink.
Breakfast chairperson Garry Luxford said all proceeds of this year’s event would go to the Anti Cancer Council of Victoria and the raffle to the Australian Rotary Health Research Fund.
Mr Luxford said the chosen charities were appropriate as a number of Rotary members were doing it tough at the moment.
Mr Mathers, who is EastLink’s project manager, will talk about proposed future road infrastructures and how it will affect locals and present an overview of the project, explaining the benefits for business in and around Cranbourne.
Entertainer for the breakfast will be comedian and theatre actor and singer Emma Powell, who has performed in Les Miserables, Pirates of Penzance, Kiss Me Kate, Fiddler on the Roof and Mamma Mia!.
Emma’s latest creation is D-Cuppetry, which has sold out at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
The business breakfast will be held on Tuesday, 15 May at the Settlement Hotel on the corner of Camms Road and South Gippsland Highway in Cranbourne.
It runs from 7am for a 7.30am start to 9am and costs $40 per head including a full cooked breakfast.
