Bernie's Brief

Hi all,

 

What a brilliant turnout for the Sunrise shoot on Tuesday! It was great to see so many Rotarians there, and Ray was absolutely in his element. A perfect promotion for the Youth Skills Shed and Rotary overall.
 
We’ve just finished up at the Bunnings BBQ, well done Helene.  Things slowed down a bit thanks to the Grand Prix and the footy, but it was still a terrific day.
 
I can’t wait to catch up with many of you in Hobart on Friday. A huge credit to Monique and her team for all their hard work behind the scenes. And to our club to Ray for arranging the Friday evening get together and everyone (including Julienne) for arranging the outfits.  The conference is going to be fantastic.
 
PS - Please don't forget there will be no meeting next week.  For those holidaying please enjoy for the rest of us at home a quiet one. 
 
Go Hobart!
 
Yours in Rotary
