President Peter welcomed 21 members of Daybreak to our meeting.
There were no guests again this week.
The meeting was fairly relaxed, with member announcements and Sergio speaking about The Rotary Foundation….almost
Our club was chartered on 29th July 1998.
In Lydia’s Presidential year we became a Centurian Club, with each member donating $100 per year towards the Foundation. This was done by adding $2 to the weekly cost of the meal and the accumulation of funds was managed by the treasurer.
We were then to see a video clip on the Foundation but alas, technology as not on our side. First. There was some random woman with nothing to do with the Foundation. Thenthe Rotary at Work clip came up but it was not actgually what Sergio had intended to show us. So……
We will hold over the clip to another meeting.
Meals on Wheels
Reminder to those who have their name down that Meals on Wheels is back on after the lockdown.
Shelterbox
Cheryl read out a letter that we received from Shelterbox with an update of where they are at.
Current travel restrictions are making their work more challenging, however they are committed to providing vulnerable families with a place to call home throughout this Coronavirus outbreak.
Their partners in Syria, Cameroon, Somaliland and Ethiopia are getting emergency shelter to people who need it, whilst implementing the social distancing rules.
There is still a massive need for humanitarian support. Coronavirus has made that need even more urgent.
Quiz
Sandra’s quiz was, again, the highlight of the meeting. Question responses were shared amongst the members.
Backyard Blitz
This had to be re-scheduled for 19th June. Barry has done a pre-visit to ascertain the needs. Barry and Peter will pick up equipment the day before and meet everyone there at 9am.
Care Program
There will be a meeting with Anglicare and WCC to discuss the program resuming
Fines
Only one this week. Who didn’t stop at the red light on the Banyon Street roundabout at the top of the cutting?
Brags
