Our 20 August Fellowship night was an enjoyable meeting with 13 in attendance including Honorary member Kevin O’Brien, former members Rock OKeefe and Barbara Burnheim, plus Alex Jorden.
Another great 3 course meal provided by Chef Kouma, which he prepares through our kitchen at The Hub.
We had a pretty relaxed evening particularly noting Birthdays for Neil Jones and Kevin O’Brien as well as Wedding Anniversaries of Andrew and Narelle and Noel and Kay. It is also a particular important time for Kevin as he also celebrates being inducted on his Birthday many years ago.
For our Club 22 August is an important date as that is the date in 1972 of the Club being Chartered.
Rock provided an update on the Pentecost Island Project, having recently returned from Vanuatu for the Hospital handover. Unfortunately, they could not travel to Pentecost Island as a previous Charter flight had crashed, plus the demise of Air Vanuatu, but the Handover was performed at the High Commission in Port Vila. The Hospital building and its associated equipment has been greatly appreciated by the locals.
Harold provided an update on our tenants Gold Coast Magic with a number of Federal, State and Local Politicians visiting the work of Gold Coast Magic and have all been extremely complimentary of The Hub.
Bill Rex conducted the Raffle and the Heads and Tails, with the lucky winners being Alex Jorden and Pauline Armstrong – congratulations.
All in all, a relaxed evening with plenty of fellowship.
Next Meeting 3 September will be the visit of our District Governor Lisa Hunt, Husband Gareth and a YEP student being hosted from Ukraine. Promises to be an interesting meeting. Following the club meeting will be Board meeting.
I am also trying to organise a night at the Robina Tafe Restaurant which will hopefully occur early in November.
Have a great time until our next meeting and enjoy the weather.
