Notes from the Meeting 18 May 2017

OPEN:

President Mike officially opened the meeting with the loyal toast.

 

INTERNATIONAL TOAST:
John Sargent proposed the toast to the Rotary Club of Hanoi, Vietnam.  

John will be visiting Hanoi in June to participate in an Australian Volunteers Project for the Centre for Women and Development. Hanoi has a population of 8-10 Million and June temperatures are typically in the mid 30s.  The Centre for Women and Development has over 20 million members. 

 

ROTARY FOUNDATION:
Dan Thomasson provided the following update:

Donations in Kind need volunteers to assist in packing on 3rd June.

 

Relay for Life still needs some volunteers to make breakfast on Sunday 21 May.  The Breakfast is from 5-6.30am near the Students' Guild at the Sunshine Coast University.

 

There are currently 11 Centurions. This status is achieved by giving $100 to the Rotary Foundation.

 

Youth Exchange will see an incoming student from Horizonte in Brazil. Clarisse will be arriving on 16 July.  

 

COMMUNITY SERVICE: 
Kevin Leadbetter reminded the club of the Breakfast for Cancer, hosted by Mark McArdle's office in the CCSA Hall. It is on Friday 26 May and is a sell out.  At $30 per head and 181 tickets it will be a great fundraiser.  We still require volunteers to assist from 8.30am.

 

DV HOUSE:

Peter Higgs informed us that the landscaping for the DV house is almost complete. All that remains is some planting and any volunteers can meet at the house at the arranged time. Tomorrow morning, weather permitting. 

RIKI TIKI:    

Demonstrated how little we collectively knew about the Pumicestone Passage, but Ian showed us he was knowledgeable in this area (or was it lucky?) 

 

GOLF DAY:

Tony Long told us preparation for the Golf Day is well underway, and he already has a sponsor for the Hole In One Insurance. This year there will be 2 recipients of the proceeds: Life Flight and STEPS

 

SERGEANT at ARMS:    

Dave Smith did a splendid job.

 

RAFFLE:

Conducted successfully by Graham and Les.

 

CLOSE:
President Mike thanked all for attending and thanked Graham for Fellowship and Brad for room set up.  The meeting was closed with the singing of the National Anthem.
