Inner Wheel District A52 created a splash of red at the Showcase and Expo of the Rotary District 9680 Conference held recently at the WIN Entertainment Centre, Wollongong. 

District Chairman, Margaret Unwin and Deidra Groppenbacher, President of Gosford North brought Inner Wheel to life with the promotion of Cord Blood merchandise.  Grandma Cordelia and Grandpa Cordy looked very appealing and were a great hit with Rotarians and partners.
