There is no formal meeting this week. However, there will be a ‘coffee conversation’ on Thursday morning, 16 January, at 9.30 am at the White Picket Fence café at 10 Stuart Road Dulwich. Our next meeting will be on Thursday 23^rd January at 7.15 am at the Stamford Plaza Hotel in North Terrace.

At our last meeting there was unanimous agreement that the Club would donate up to $2,000 to the Kangaroo Island bushfire appeal. We are awaiting notification from our District’s bushfire assistance committee on how best we can contribute to the Appeal and if there are any other donations or assistance we can provide in addition to our monetary donation. Barry Grear is a member of the Committee.

A reminder that our friends from the Rotary Club of Eastwood will be joining us on Thursday 23^rd January when John Bellman from SACA will be our guest speaker. He will be talking about his role in SACA and our summer of cricket.
