President Wendy.

It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Nanette Davis.

The Rotary Club of Goolwa, along with friends & partners, extend our deepest sympathy to Jim and family on the passing of Nanette.

Nanette joined our club in February 2005 and has been a committed member ever since.  She was President of the club in 2016 – 2017 & chair of Youth committee for many years. We fondly remember Nanette for her valued contributions towards Rotary projects.

Nanette suffered ill health for the last 2 years, however throughout this, her positive attitude to life was an inspiration to us all.

All present stood and observed a one-minute silence as we remembered Nanette.

Rest in peace beautiful Nanette.

 

Andy (our bulletin editor) has agreed to manage the Guest Speaker program, so it anyone has any ideas for guest speakers, or has arranged for a guest speaker to speak at a meeting, can you please let Andy know. He will then add them to the guest speaker program on Club Runner, and they will appear in the Bulletin.
 
Alan - Christmas Festival
At a meeting with Council officers, the possibility of conducting the Christmas Festival this year, was examined. Under current rules, it would be impossible for us to hold the Festival, and comply with Covid 19 regulations. Before making a final decision, we are waiting to see what rules may be brought in for the Adelaide Christmas Pageant.
Council Officers, suggested that funds normally put aside for the festival, would be available for an alternative celebration.
Alternative suggestions were: hiring an Ice Rink for a period, better Street Decorations and a light projector for the trees.
A further meeting is scheduled for 12th August.
One possibility is to install speakers in the main street, to play Christmas music. If anyone has any thoughts on this, or  has any alternative ideas, please contact Karen or Greg.
 

Guest Speaker - PDG Bob Cooper

 
Wendy welcomed PDG Bob Cooper – a member of the Burnside club.
He has many roles within the District – Champion for Polio Plus
