Our Christmas party at Benowa Gardens Highland Court Chinese Restaurant was a nice social night. A nice way to finish a great year at a truly remarkable Rotary Club. Thanks to every member of this club, with all your hard work and dedication that makes this club the best Rotary Club ever. A big thank you to all the members that have volunteered for the Scooter and BBQ rosters over the Holiday period. The toy drive has been a huge success with the toys delivered on Monday to Pindara Private and on Saturday to Gold Coast university Hospital.
We have two potential new members joining our club next year. Barabara Burnheim and Lee Morgan. Please make them both feel welcome to our club. Our first meeting back will be at Mermaid bowls club on the 10th of January at 5pm for barefoot bowls social evening and dinner afterwards.
Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New year.
Yours in Rotary
Andrew

FROM OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY
TUESDAY 13 DECEMBER 2022
Scribe: Neil Jones
Twenty five members and guests turned out at the Benowa Highland Court Chinese Restaurant for the Club's 2022 Christmas function. It was certainly a very festive occasion with everyone joining in the Christmas Spirit and enjoying the fellowship
Having feasted on a wonderful banquet (not even Bruce could manage to clean up all the dishes) President Andrew thanked all for their contribution over the past six months, wished everyone a relaxing and enjoyable festive break and looked forward to an even more exciting and rewarding 2023.
