The May 2018 edition of Quokka Talk is an important one, as it bids thank you and farewell to Eddie Lankhorst and Vicky Rowe, long time shepherds of the Western Australian Lotus community, and welcomes Steve Pretzel, who’s kindly taken over the position.

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication, Eddie, and welcome, Steve!
