Hope you had a safe and relaxing Easter weekend with cautious intake of wickedly enticing bunny goodies. While most were at play, our selfless volunteers sacrificed their sunny day to successfully ply BBQ sales to many tireless handy folk at Bunnings, Mile End. Sincere thanks to our sales force of Rob, Graham, Fred, Don, Lilli, Di, Elaine, Paul and Alison.
Our next Club Board meeting this Thursday April 13 will grapple with competing budget options among other things. If you’d like to spectate, let me know. Also, since only one member has requested a ‘Rotary Club of Adelaide Light' badged polo shirt/rugby jumper/dress shirt, I recommend you quickly contact Richard if you want to avoid disappointment. The purchase window may then close for a year or two.
Our next Cuppa Conversation to help new Aussies settle in, is 10am April 22 at Ballaboosta, 289 Halifax Street in the city
Our Rotary District 9510 has a 2023 Rotary Volunteering Expo on 3rd June 2023 in Bonython Hall at Adelaide University. It’s free and open to the public with 40 exhibitors including Rotary projects and those of our partners in community service. There are Guest speakers on societal change that include volunteering trends. The theme “Proud of the Past Confident of the Future” highlights Rotary as an enabler offering satisfying experiences for all members.
There’s a Celebration Dinner 6:30pm that evening at the National Wine Centre. It’s $100 for a 2-course meal, welcome drink on arrival, entertainment and some very special guests. Put 3rd June in your diary and register for either/both here.
This Thursday morning 13/4, join us for our Breakfast Meeting 7 for 7:15am at South Tce Croquet Club, Beaumont Rd in the south east parklands. Rob’s email asked you to let him know if you’re coming or not and also what you’d like to eat (or not).
