John C. had his operation last Wed. and according to John K. everything went well.
The weather was excellent for our BBQ. at Bunnings at Kent Town on Sunday and it was a very successful day. The gross taking was $ 967.30 with a net profit of $ 720.45. It must be noted that Kent Town now open at 9am. on a Sunday.
John W., John K. and Yvette and 3 Rotaractors are meeting on Tuesday evening for further discussion regarding the Rotaract to Rotary Pathway.
On Wed. I will be representing Adelaide Light at a function at Government House thanks to a invitation form Catherine House.
Our next Board meeting is this coming Wed. at 6.30pm. in the Board room at the Royal Coach.
Thurs. 22nd. Nov. is a Coffee Conversation at the Stables at 9.30am.
Please remember that our Club's Christmas Croquet evening is on Friday 30th. Nov. at 6pm. and we would like as many club members, partners and friends to attend as possible. The Rotaractors have a strong contingent coming.
The Rotary Club of Adelaide Light will again be selling wonderful fresh Christmas Trees over the first three weekends of December at Bunnings at Kent Town.
Every tree sold helps to support a wide range of activities that assist our community.
This is the information re the ‘bag collection’ being conducted by my next door neighbour I mentioned at our meeting on Thursday.
"This year I am getting involved in the ‘It’s in the bag’ initiative with Share the Dignity and supported by Bunnings Stores: See details below:
‘What is ‘It's In The Bag?’
Each year Share the Dignity collects handbags filled with personal care products. These Christmas gifts are then distributed to homeless, at-risk and women experiencing domestic violence.
What can I donate?
Choose a handbag you no longer use or buy a new one, then fill it with items including shampoo, conditioner, a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, sanitary items and anything else you can think of that will make a woman feel special.’
I am hoping that some of you might have some largish handbags or small backpacks that you no longer need and are happy to donate. I will fill and take to Bunnings for collection. I would also appreciate any donations to fill the bags as well. I will be delivering the bags by the end of November.
Please bring your bags along to our meeting on Thursday 22nd November.
Supported by Rotary Clubs in Districts 9520 & 9500
Twilight Cruise on the ‘One & All’
Following the success last year of our Twilight Summer Cruises, the Youth Sailing ‘One & All’ Committee is organising another cruise for Rotarians, their family and friends on Saturday, December 1st 2018.
As on previous cruises, you will be offered a variety of delicious food, soft drinks, tea and coffee while sailing majestically down the Port River and into the Gulf.
On board and helping to run the ship will be some of the students who were sponsored by local Rotary Clubs to take part in the October 5-day training voyage. They will happily discuss their sailing experiences and demonstrate some of their newly acquired rigging and ship handling skills!
Rotarians and their guests will need to gather at the McLaren Wharf, Port Adelaide at 5:15 pm for boarding. We will be returning shortly after 10:00 pm. Departure and return is dependent on the opening times of the bridge, so don’t be late or you may miss the boat!
The cost is $109 per person. Last year’s Cruises were very popular and booked out quickly – think about making this a special Club event and inviting friends. By taking part, you will be helping to support an exciting, new Rotary Youth program.
For the benefit of members, we will aim to give the Duty Roster a few weeks ahead - see below.
