We had 13 members in attendance. Dan ran the meeting in the absence of President Kaye.
 
Technology Discussion
We had a discussion around whether or not we should be set up to run hybrid meetings.  The conferencing technology is available at a cost of around $2 000.  There are issues around portability/weekly set up.  District may help with the cost.
 
Bernard Update
Robin let us know that Bernard has had his operation and is going well.
 
Wheelchair Project
Robin gave a most interesting talk on the Wheelchair Project.  $200 is all it takes to make a wheelchair, and Rotary has sent some 70 000 overseas – changing people’s lives.  Robin showed a great video of just ow the wheelchairs are made.
We discussed visiting the shed where they are produced a week prior to a market with a view of publicising the project at the markets.
