Please check the roster for the next few weeks and advise John Campbell and David Ungar if you will be away that week. Absence forms will be at the attendance desk.
Matt shared his journey from running yoga retreats in the UK to moving to Australia, returning to corporate life, and ultimately founding his meditation business, MI Meditation. He described how daily practice supported his career transition, improved relationships, and helped him lead major projects calmly. Matt has since run successful community classes, workplace workshops, and is expanding into aged care and online programs. Members experienced a three-minute guided meditation, illustrating how even brief pauses can reduce stress and enhance wellbeing. For a free trial, click here.
This week's meeting is fellowship and committee information. Each director will sit at a different table and members are encouraged to learn more about the portfolios and ways they can assist.
Ross shared a memorable encounter at the Rotary International Convention in Calgary, where he and Mark met members of the Rotary Club of Naperville (near Chicago). He described Naperville as a prosperous, attractive community with a vibrant, youthful Rotary club heavily engaged in international service, particularly projects in Kenya.
