 District Governor Jeff Egan recently wrote a letter (see Download section on the right) to all Rotarians in District 9640, advising that a dedicated Flood Appeal account has been set up for Rotarians (and anyone else, for that matter) to contribute to a flood appeal to benefit victims of the horrendous floods some regions experienced over the past two weeks. As is common for any Rotary-based appeals, there will be no administration fees, director's remunerations etc. All funds end up directly at the target, the people who were affected. If a donor does not require the donation to have tax deductibility status, it is preferable that donations should be deposited into the following account: Rotary International District 9640 Ltd. BSB: 084462, Account No: 816279059 This is the account to which Rotary clubs should donate. If tax deductibility is required, please use this account: Keith Wilson Relief Trust Fund BSB: 633000 Account No: 175308303 The name of the donor needs to be included on the deposit AND please send via email to PDG Sandra Doumany at srmd@bigpond.net.au (Note: the original post had a typo - this is the correct address): 1. the name of the donor 2. the amount of the deposit 3. any requirement for the donation to be spent on a specific area (if requested). |
You would recall: Sophia visited us early December last year, where she introduced herself. Our club sponsored this very bright young lady to attend this year's National Youth Science Forum, which was held last month. (Yes, you need to be at the top of the STEM subjects to be even considered, not to mention to be selected). 
Regrettably, we have an issue with the renewal of our domain www.rotarysurferssunrise.org. The mob (US based) with whom it was registered won't reply to our emails. We'll try to sort it out within the next few days; waiting for them to return to work after the weekend.
Last weekend’s Tenterfield conference was the first ‘in person’ one since 2019 and it certainly was one with a difference! Not the glitzy 5-star hotel or big club ballroom, but a true country-style bar-be-que affair.
