Did You Hear........E&OE
There is a lot going on.....Thea was Sergeant for our last meeting which was a very busy night.
Captain of the Salvation Army in Maryborough and Rotarian David Allman's talk was really interesting, especially to hear how the Salvo's bring together their service to Jesus and for mankind. David and his wife and two employees plus volunteers offer a wide range of assistance to many people each week in a wide variety of ways. This includes presence at Court each Thursday to assist and counsel those in need. One of the special things they do is to give out care packages, they are short on Deodorant and shampoo and children's toothbrushes and would welcome any donations you may like to give.
That next week's meeting is at Pepper's Restaurant, Hats night and also dinner fee $22.00.
The Pyrenees bike ride was quite a successful event and financially added about $4,400 to Club funds....great effort !!
A recommendation will go to the Board proposing that our Shelter Box go this year to the Indonesian Tsunami appeal. Don't forget to get the raffle tickets for the drought appeal back to Pres. Meryl asap.
The Friday night Footy Frenzy raised approximately $1000, while the Rock and Roll dance raised $650. These projects enable us to go our important work ...well done organisers!!
Derrick is flat our organizing the ICFR Festival in Melbourne, he mentioned some of the night mares involved in organizing 255 visitors....especially the names of Indian cricketers!!
There is very sad news that past member, Trevor Potter passed away on Saturday night. Trevor was a Rotarian for many years, a great but quiet worker, and he will be sadly missed. His great brick work will always be a reminder of his excellent craftsmanship.
Attendance: last week was 64.4% which is 29 out of 45........pretty good!
