Last week's meeting was held at the project shed, in combination with a working bee to load wheelchairs into a container bound for South Africa (see story above). PDG Darrell Brown was meeting chairman. We had apologies from Peter Morgan, Adrian Crowe, Geoff Croad, Gerald East and Simon Brook, A special big "Thank You!" goes to Angus Miller, who organised and cooked us a hearty Bacon, Eggs & Sausages bar-be-que to feed the hungry hordes, after we exerted ourselves to load some 306 wheelchairs - literally - before breakfast... ☺
President Mitch Brown welcomed all members and visitors David Blackmoor (guest of Doug Lipp), Rotaractors KJ Jewson and Matt Howard. Following PDG Tony Heading's informative outline of The Rotary Foundation (see story above), Mario Fairlie announced that we have received confirmation that the Vanuatu Minister for Health, as well as "our man in Vanuatu", Dr Richard Leone, will attend the big media event at the Catalina Restaurant on 5th April (see story and booking link above). Although the shipment of the containers has been delayed due to the recent cyclone Gabrielle, the handover on Pentecost Island is expected to be in June 2023.
