Sergeants Session or Members Choice Michael Knight used his Members Choice to bring back the old but not forgotten Sergeant session.  He started by fining John Egan for collecting money before Michael had the opportunity to name the victims. He then fined our speaker Mayor Conkey for not clearly distinguishing the capital investments which are going to the RIFL rail project from those government funds going to the Wagga gun club that has been so frequently in the news. Michael proceeded to fine Neil Pinto for not appropriately wearing the supporting colours and banners for the Indian cricket team. He then fined John Gray for his photo which appeared in the paper resembling an old area farmer. |

Wollundry Members Back at Work for RAWCS  Ken Engsmyr from the Rotary Club of Parkes was a visiting Rotarian at our club on Tuesday. Ken was meeting with Stuart Heriot, Tim Hutchings and Paul Murray to re-establish the working team co-ordinating a second round of distribution of funds to farmers and rural communities impacted by the past drought. Several years ago, Ken and the above three Wollundry members distributed one million dollars to farmers through a RAWCS (Rotary Australia World Community Service) program funded by the Federal government. Another round of funding has been made avaliable and the team has been asked to come together again and contact some 400 farmers and facilitate the distribution of debit cards in the amount of $500 per farmer. The funding is intended to support western rural communities still under financial stress from the drought/Covid19 impacts. |
