Meeting Information
Changeover Dinner
Our changeover dinner is really coming together, with 51 people booked in to attend. We’re delighted that Deb Frugtniet, our District Governor Elect, will be joining us, and Lauren Bunney – the talented local artist many of you heard at the Pride of Work Awards – will be entertaining guests on arrival and during dinner.
The District Changeover is also coming up on Sunday, and there are still tickets available if you’d like to be part of the celebration.
Annual Report
The annual report is being pulled together, and the service report is particularly impressive. It really shows how active we’ve been this year and how many different parts of the community we’ve supported.
Service Projects & Wheelchair Delivery
Our hands-on service continues, with members heading up to RARE to deliver 10–12 bush wheelchairs for loading into a container. These will soon be on their way to people who really need them.
Youth & Interact Achievements
The Miami High Interact Club continues to impress. Their trivia night on the 5th of June raised a net profit of $3,624, and they’ve chosen to donate $3,500 to I Africa. It’s a fantastic result and a great example of young people leading meaningful service projects.
Fundraising & Event Rosters
We’re now turning our attention to the July 4th Whale Festival BBQ. This event is held just outside the club on the foreshore, from about 7:00 am to 2:00 pm, with the main rush from 9:00 am onwards. See Richard Diaz if you would like to help out.
On Friday 3 July, the Palm Beach Neighbourhood Centre has asked for help with moving some items. We’ll need three or four volunteers, and more details will be shared at the next meeting.
Club Relationships & Acknowledgements
Nick Owens, the long-serving General Manager of the venue, will be retiring at the end of the month. Nick has been very supportive of our club during his time as manager and we thank him for that.
Storage & Logistics Challenges
The surf club is no longer able to store our Rotary gear for meetings, so we are looking for other options. For the time being, equipment will need to be brought in each week.
