Four years ago Lin Hughes, of Rotary Club of Chadstone/East Malvern, was half-listening to the Saturday morning TV. She heard a woman from Waverley talking about how her 11-year-old with Down’s Syndrome was enjoying special dance classes for children with disabilities.
Lin was intrigued because she lived near Waverley Road. But when she got in touch, she found the woman, Lucy Ricardo, was in Waverley NSW.
