The BBQ Team were at Bunnings Pymble Saturday 6 August
Saturday the Bunnings Pymble BBQ was a great  success despite it being our first time at this new location. Trade was perhaps not as busy as we are used to but enough to keep all our volunteers busy! Special thanks go to Tim England, who again proves he is extraordinary on the BBQ tongs and worked tirelessly all day!  Harold Morgan and John Steel make it all happen so seamlessly because of the amount of organisation coordination they do before and after.  To all members who assisted throughout Saturday …. “we couldn’t do it without you!”  Thanks to Trish for sending the photo through for inclusion in The Waratah.  With mobile phones having such great camera facilities, please remember to grab yours next time, and help us keep a photographic record of our time together.

President Bruce's Report 10 August 2022
Finally we seem to be able to function without Covid changing our day to day behaviour.
 
Last week we had a pleasant breakfast at JJ’s Cafe then the Board of Directors had the first face-to-face meeting for several months. 
 
As you know this month is Membership month and I am pleased to report that there are some potential new members waiting in the wings. 
 
This Saturday the Bunnings Pymble BBQ was a great  success despite it being our first time at this new location.  Trade was perhaps not as busy as we are used to but enough to keep all our volunteers busy! Special thanks go to Tim England, who again proves he is extraordinary on the BBQ tongs and worked tirelessly all day!  Harold Morgan and John Steel make it all happen so seamlessly because of the amount of organisation coordination they do before and after.  To all members who assisted throughout Saturday …. “we couldn’t do it without you!”  Thanks to Trish for sending the photo through for inclusion in The Waratah.  With mobile phones having such great camera facilities, please remember to grab yours next time, and help us keep a photographic record of our time together.
 
Next week it’s back to Zoom for our weekly get together. PDG Bruce Lakin will be addressing us about the proposed changes to the Rotary Regionalisation Structure. We will meet at the usual Zoom address at 6:30pm next Wednesday. I will send the zoom link out again for those who are technically challenged and cannot do the same thing twice without assistance. 
 
On August 31st we will be meeting at Magpies Club Waitara. The plan is to organise our own dinner together in the club at 6pm then meet in the Function room at 7pm for our guest speaker, Owen Hynes. Owen’s presentation will discuss the health benefits of staying strong as we age. Owen Hynes is the Clinic Leader and senior physiotherapist at Kieser Pymble. His passion is treating recreational golfers and those suffering from chronic lower back and knee pain. 
 
Kieser is physiotherapy and strength training facility that delivers long-term health outcomes. Individualised strengthening programs are tailored to the client’s goals and are designed by the Kieser team of physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists and Exercise Scientists. 
Kieser’s mission is to build a stronger Australia through targeted and safe strength training. This allows you to continue doing the things you love as you age: whether that be playing golf, running your first 5KM or Rotary Regonalisaton Structure enjoying keeping up with grandchildren. Kieser’s multidisciplinary team are tertiary qualified and have the skills and experience to understand your goals and barriers to work together to achieve a great long-term outcome. 
 
Those members who do not wish to dine at the club can come directly to the Function Room at 7pm..
 
All members send get well wishes to our mate Murray Lennon who is back in the SAN hospital for treatment.  Regrettably there is Covid on his ward, which means he cannot receive any visitors.  Text messages or emails work well if you would like to send Murray a greeting and check if he’s up for a chat.
 
Best wishes for now.
 
Yours in Rotary, 
Bruce.
