Firstly, I am deeply saddened by the catastrophic Nepal flash flooding disaster and my heart goes out to the Nepalese people and all those affected. At a board level, we decided to donate $2500 via the RAWCS fund, struck by the huge impact and need. A ShelterBox response team is now mobilized on the ground in Kathmandu and focused on the critical shelter and household items needed.

In other happier news, the Royal Adelaide Show Rotary SA booth is in full swing and our 3 volunteering members have already completed their shifts. The booth looks very professional and is well placed in the Jubilee Pavilion with lots of people of all ages stopping by and engaging. It was great to see Rotary getting the brand out there and hopefully some new members. I personally enjoyed the opportunity to meet Rotarians from different clubs and learn about their projects. If you are heading to the show make sure to go say hi.
We've got a busy month coming up with our Catherine House garden makeover project booked for 2 consecutive Sunday mornings, 20th and 27th. If you are able to help out either date please get in touch with me. We will combine one of these dates with our September Cuppa Conversation catch up so even if you are not into gardening you could still join us for a coffee and chat. More details to follow once finalised.
