A balmy autumn evening on the balcony greeted members and guests. Sgt Viki curtailed conversation promptly at 6.30pm and we adjourned to Rotary Hall.
Several apologies were noted and guests introduced.
Guests: Russell McKinnon’s wife Shirley, Barry Dring’s partner, Eugenie, Doreen Menezes, Hayden Cooper, Nadeem Turkia and Guest Speaker, Mark Holdsworth (Regional Development Australia).
Laurie Dines led the Invocation and we toasted our country, Australia.
Thought For The Day: Russell McKinnon informed us that during the pandemic, 500,000 people left Australia !!!
We rose for another wonderful dinner by Chef David and “chowed down”.

Tom Maina reminded us of the monthly themes for Rotary International and incorporating them into our meetings.
The raffle was won by our new member, Nadeem Turkia.
