Anne's Message 

Fina and Millie did a great job telling us about their NYSF experience. They are two delightful and clever young women. Greg Alison. youth director from Central Rotary spoke highly of Millie and I think Fina and her mother would like to keep in contact with our club.
It was good to catch up with a good contingent of visitors from Central. Thank you to Brooke for organising the evening.

We also welcomed Fina's parents, Frank Monger who took a club photo and club guest Greg Lee.
 

We had apologies from Chris Stebbing, David Brown, Cathy Bligh, Trevor Williams, Graeme Ward, Kelly Curren, Janet Blackley and Brooke Jensen. Janet asked me to pass on her thanks to members who have been in contact with her during this very difficult time. Joshua has been transferred to the Alfred Hospital. Janet said to assure everyone she has not done a runner on us. Please keep Janet and Joshua in your thoughts.


Thank you to Judy Ross for representing us at the District Conference in Ballarat and for her very good report to our meeting
Next week PP Trevor Williams will tell us about his time on a Rotary work party to Fiji.

From the National Youth Science Forum...
Well done, Fina and Millie! Great presentation covering all the highlights ☺ Thank you to the Rotary Club of Warrnambool and the Rotary Club of Warrnambool Central for supporting and sponsoring NYSF participants and to Brooke for helping with the endorsement! We hope to see more students from Warrnambool following in your footsteps.

Anne Adams
Anne has been contacted by Marg Wagner from 'Enhance Work Placement Experience for Everyone' in regards to billeting under 18s throughout the year to help complete their tafe courses here in Warrnambool. These students live remotely and need to complete intensive elements here at our south west tafe campus. This program has a MOU with our district and is being asked of all clubs within our area. If you are interested, please talk to Anne. Brooke can also forward on the flyer and information.

items are required to create prizes for the raffle at the Book sale.  There will be several prizes as usual, and they will be compiled of whatever is donated.

REMEMBER everything must be unused/new and not out-of-date. 
 
HI-VIS VESTS: 
We are missing several vests and I ask if you could please check and see if you may have one lurking in a dark corner somewhere, (at home, in the car, at work, in the shed???). If you do find one, could you please check and see if it is clean and bring it back so we have a full complement of vests once more. Many thanks.

Please continue to bring along your washed milk bottle tops. Svet and her Girl guides are working with Lauren,  who came and spoke to us. You can give the lids to Svet or Judy. Bread tags are also still being collected.
