A few words from President Bernie
Last Thursday evening I attended the Currimundi Special School Concert.  What a delightful night.  The enthusiasm that the children put into their acts was amazing and the efforts and support of the teachers and families made the night truly special.  I felt so honored to have been invited to this wonderful occasion and happy that I was able to accept.
These coming weeks we as a club have been invited to attend end of year celebrations for the Schools that the Club has given bursaries to.  Julianna Neal and I attended the Pacific Lutheran College end of year celebration on Tuesday evening.  The evening was marked with reverence and celebration.  Our Exchange Student Chloe Mear was presented with a Certificate.
I will be attending Currimundi Special School on Friday afternoon to attend their end of year Assembly.
Thank you to those members who have attended and presented bursaries to our schools.
There are a couple of empty spaces and Judy has asked if anyone is free to help out by presenting a Bursary could they please let her know as soon as possible.
 
Just a couple of reminders
 
Tuesday the 11th December is our Vocational visit to the Men’s Shed – I do hope you all have a great visit.
 
Thursday the 13th December is a Sausage Sizzle at Star Discount Chemist Golden Beach – please let Judy know if you can give her a helping hand – time is from 9am to 3pm.  It will help us to get our name out there and let the Community know what we have done and what we can do.
 
Saturday the 15th December – Club Christmas Get together at Sue’s home – don’t forget to RSVP.
 
We all joined Rotary for a reason be it that we are all Community minded and we do Projects to make the Community a better place.  We have made longlife friends and have a wonderful fellowship – Lets have the best Rotary Club in the District and work towards a better world.
 
Until next time.
 
Bernie

Don't forget the WindanSea clubhouse -
Roger was looking for Community Support for the WindanSea Clubhouse.  To support the youth in our community, please go to the WindanSea website to learn more.  There is a link to Council's Development website, and to the "Notice of Submission form" - the address to email to Council is on the website.
Getting the initial permissions has been a very long road and we need some positive comments to make it a reality. 12th Dec is the deadline.
