President James Hawker
President James welcomed guests, Chris Cleveland and  Marie Harmon .
  • Inducted Chris Cleveland who has transferred to our club from the RC Darwin.
  • James has sent to all members an advisory letter from District Governor  Jeff Neale regarding the current COVID requirements.  James contacted Auchendorroch for an update on their COVID policies.   The Board decided that future meetings will be held  face to face for the time being.  Presence at meetings is, of course, voluntary.  The club has adopted the President's recommendation that   all members must QR code in to the venue on arrival at meetings and abide by all State and Federal regulations, including but not limited to, the wearing of face masks, social distancing and venue density requirements. Members will comply with Auchendorroch management's COVID regulations. A Rotarian COVID Marshall will attend our meetings and ensure that Rotarians and guests comply with regulations and any direction given.  These requirements will be a condition of attendance. The post meeting of Rotarians in the foyer of the Oaks and Iron will discontinue until further advice. 
  • James thanked all volunteers at the Lobethal Lights and at the Bunnings sausage sizzle for their excellent fund raising selling donuts and sausages.   Nearly every other organisation has cancelled their sausage sizzle fund raising.
