Sister club relationships are a great way in which Rotarians can express international goodwill as part of our common Rotary goals.  At Broadbeach, we share in a 3 way relationship with the  Rotary Club of Kasaoka Japan and the Rotary Club of Tauranga New Zealand.  At our meeting on the 8th July, we were delighted that Kenji Tsuda was able to join us for our regular meeting.  Kenji was making yet another visit to participate in the Gold Coast Marathon that was held a few days prior to that.  Kenji presented President John Monks with a special gift from the members of Kasaoka.  We send our best regards to all of our friends in Kasaoka and Tauranga.

Congratulations to John Monks and all the other club members who have played a role in the construction of The Shed. The club thanks you for your untiring efforts that are now witnessed in the finished product.

It was fitting that Cr Dawn Crichlow OAM performed the official opening and we thank Cr Dawn and Cr Paul for their generous financial support of this project that would not have been otherwise possible. Certificates of Appreciation were also presented to Cr Dawn and Cr Paul Taylor for their contribution and support of Broadbeach Rotary.

Another milestone was achieved on Fri 7th June when lockup stage was reached.
Congratulations to our project manager John Monks for his continued efforts to keep things moving ahead.
Future steps include mounting large internal lights, external security lights and internal fans that were saved from the dismantled Southport pools shed.   After that we will be getting the power connected.  It will soon be time for some working bees to do some landscaping, putting up a permanent fence, retaining walls etc.

Ms Prue Plummer - Age 25, PHD Cancer Researcher

Nominated by Dr Alan Munn,

Prue completed high school at Robina High where she was the president of the Leo Club, which is a Lions Club youth group.

She studied for a science degree at Griffith University and then obtained an honours degree.

Prue was chosen to do a PHD under Professor Albert Mellick on research in the cause of cancer. Her studies focused on how cancers grow and spread to other parts of the body and how to restrict the growth of blood vessels that nourish the growth of tumours. Prue has identified the DNA markers of the EPC cells in blood vessels. This discovery allows for research into methods to restrict their growth. This may be a major breakthrough.
