Fellow Rotarians and Friends,
 
Christmas in July was a fantastic evening and nice to have Nerang Rotary Club and Southport Broadwater Rotary Club join us. Over $900 was raised with all proceeds going towards our Lady Small project. With the success of this evening, I feel we should add this event to our club calendar.
 
Please join us at the hub on Tuesday 8th August. Our guest speaker will be Andre Booyzen who will be sharing details about the PCYC Braking the Cycle program. This program is designed to assist young adults obtaining their 100 hours of supervised driving. The hub has already been cleaned from Xmas in July, so we only need a few volunteers for setting up. We will need 3 people to assist from 5pm so please let me know if you can help.
 
All board members please note, we are having our first board meeting of the year on Tuesday 22nd August at 8.30pm. Directors can you please have your reports sent to Harold by 15th August. All members are welcome to attend. The 5th Tuesday of the month August 29th is our social night and looking for restaurant suggestions. Please let me know by next week.
 
Yours in Rotary,
 Andrew

FROM OUR MEETING 25 JULY 2023
 
Scribe: Barbara Burnheim
Ho, Ho, Ho,
What a wonderful evening we had for our Christmas in July. The old tin shed looked wonderful with all the twinkling lights & decorations. She really shone.
President Andrew welcomed all including our guests from Nerang Rotary, Broadwater/Southport Rotary & Lady Small Haven Dementia Unit (LSHDU). Koumar did a wonderful job as always with the special Christmas dinner.
President of Nerang Rotary, Michelle Tavil spoke to us about their special project of buying container homes for temporary accommodation for the earthquake victims of Turkey. Broadbeach Rotary have donated $500 towards this most worthwhile project. Peter Jeremy from Broadbeach/Southport talked about wanting to put 3 statues at the Kokoda Memorial at Cascade Gardens. They have a raffle to help fund this and the 1st prize is a jet ski & trailer, fully insured. Tickets range from $15 each to $60 for 6.
Celia from LSHDU talked about the changing demographics of Aged Care & ensuring the benefits are for the future as much as for today. Do you know there are over 400,000 people with dementia that need care & love. They need all the help they can get & Broadbeach Rotary will contribute by making their outdoor area colourful & tactile for the patients. More on this project soon.
Our raffles were amazing thanks to Benowa Newsagency, BWS Benowa Gardens, Gourmet Foods & Bermuda Butchery. The winners were very happy & they included our own members & visitors which was lovely.
The atmosphere generated was happy & friendly, people all having a good time.
