Greetings Fellows,
When it comes to organizing events, this Club is
outstanding.
Anzac day saw a number of
Rotarians, families and guests attend the annual breakfast and ceremony at
Cape Cabarita. There were a huge number of medals on display, being proudly
worn by both people who had earned medals or by family members of those who
have served this great. country.
The organizers of this event
were Bert & Carol Houston, assisted by Euan & Leedy Watson, Ann & Peter
Manenti and Joe Campisi who did an excellent job on the BBQ.
Well done & thank you to all who
assisted.
On Sunday we held our “WSFM Bike
the Park” event at Olympic Park.
I am as yet uncertain of
official numbers but I would guess that it would have been in the vicinity of
700 entrants.
Once again, the organizing
committee, marshals, BBQ cooks, registration helpers all did an outstanding
job.
THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL WHO
HELPED.
Rod McDougall, Steve Taylor,
Kevin Freund, Euan Watson, Bert Houston, Keith Stockall should take a bow for
their efforts in making this annual bike ride the success that it is.
I am sure that some people will
take a well earned “break” after months of constant organising,
I am certain that we will be
backing bigger and better than ever next year to support another worthwhile
charity.
As the details become available
we will inform everyone of how much we raised to assist research into cystic
Fibrosis.
Fellows after finding the
Quickshade that had “disappeared” in an unused shower in my factory, I have
decided that I will become the Club’s new “Gear Chairman”.
I intend to keep an accurate
record of the equipment that we own as well as keep details of its location.
And yes I do expect to pay a
fine for forgetting where the Quickshade was.
Last week we were given an
insight into the devastation left behind by the Tsunami by Dr. Mick Campion.
This was an incredible and
moving talk, I am sure all that heard it will agree.
Well Fellows that’s all for now,
Until next week,
“LET’S CELEBRATE ROTARY”
President Keith
