What’s been happening at our club?
Besides having some very interesting guest speakers recently, Rotarians have been out and about … helping at the Warrack Eagles Family Day, the WPS Gala Night and selling raffle tickets for their big fundraiser. Two cars are on the prize list, so see a Rotarian to buy your ticket!
We also inducted Tim Hewitt as our newest Rotarian. Tim is a great community man and we look forward to Tim’s ideas, friendship and involvement in our programs.
What’s Coming Up?
As the year draws to a close, our final activities have been planned.
Delicious ANZAC biscuits and Yo yos for sale.
Our local German Exchange student, Simon Ossing, spend hours recently with Rotarians and Rotaractors cooking biscuits ready to sell to the community. These delicious biscuits will be sold at the secondary college, at basketball on Friday nights and at Rotary meetings. Funds from sales will go towards the Rotary Mental Health program, Lift The Lid.
Wednesday 27th November
Our guest speaker on Wednesday will be Rotarian Megan Watts. One of our newest and youngest Rotarians, Megan has already embraced some significant opportunities available to Rotarians … last year she visited Cambodia to view Rotary aid programs there and this year Megan joined a group of Rotarians and friends from our district and visited Canada on a Friendship Exchange. A perfect way to have a holiday, discovering new places and being hosted by locals.
Wednesday 4th December
WSC teacher, Peter Loy, will be joining us to talk about the college’s recent involvement in The Energy Breakthrough event. This fabulous team event is held annually in Maryborough for schools throughout Victoria, and several from our region have been taking part for several years.
Friday 6th December- AUSTRALIA DAY nominations due
You may have seen the ads in the Herald and brochures around town asking for community members to nominate someone for Australia Day awards. The Rotary Club organizes the Warracknabeal and district awards while the shire do the Yarriambiack Shire awards. They are separate awards but we encourage you to send nominations to both. Please consider putting forward a nomination.
If you would like to join us for any event, you will always be welcomed. We get together generally on a Wednesday night at The Creekside for a meal at 6pm followed by an interesting program. Please contact Jean Wise (0487 159 242) if you’d like to come.
