The club’s efforts to offer a Thursday evening option to prospective young members who may not be able to attend regular Tuesday lunch meetings have been trialing for a few occasions now. Last Thursday it was combined with a fund-raising feature at Auburn Bowls. A guest speaker talked of our project in the northern remote area of the Philippines, i.e. that one where we are helping fund the construction of a school toilet block. The report built around a series of photos showed most satisfactory progress.
Surpassing any regular lunch meeting, a second speaker was scheduled. An interesting account of a rotary sponsored water purification unit and examples of its actual use again highlighted how Rotary dollars are utilized 100% in overseas projects. Tapping freely into international links was once again exemplified by both speakers.
Many regulars attended too. In view of the attendance not sure in the snaps below just who is a Tuesday lunch or Thursday evening specialist, although one wonders if "young" is an appropriate adjective.
