Happy Australia Day to you all,
What a week it has been, with our Australia Day event being successfully delivered.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to all of you wonderful Rotary Mt Warning AM members who have given so much of your time, energy and expertise over the last 6weeks. As always, everyone has contributed to making this the successful day that it was.
For me the highlight was our Indigenous group who spoke such beautiful words, shared their culture with us, danced and told us their stories…… and they even allowed us to come up and dance with them, and taught us both the dance and meaning of each of the steps. I still get goose bumps just thinking about it. It was a very special experience!
Congratulations to our ten awardees, who were presented with our Australia Day Rotary Community Service Awards. A very special congratulations to our very own Mary-Ann Thackray and Glenn Nott who were both honoured with an award for the amazing service they both give to our community…. so very well deserved!
Our Australia Day event was livestreamed to Facebook, and you can go to our Facebook page to see the recording. The zoom recording will also be available, and you can all look forward to viewing our video and professional photos too.
This week has also seen our RYLA candidate, Coreen North, attending the camp out at Camp Bornhoffen. DG Jeff, Kaileen, David and myself were lucky enough to be able to attend and enjoyed a fabulous dinner and evening. Coreen is loving her time there, and already had lots of stories to tell us and memories to share.
Thank you to our January Vocational Theme Team….. you were absolutely fabulous…. and welcome to our February Theme Team. We are looking forward to a month ahead that is focused on all things Peace and Conflict Resolution.
Many thanks
Looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday,
Yours in Rotary,
Jeannie
