Richard Smith was at the door, Doug Lipp was Chairman and Andy Bell was Sergeant. We had apologies from Mark Twyford, Gerald East, Neil Thurlow, Fred Hamblen, Mario Fairlie, Ian Mayberry, Paul Seymour and Johnny Bueti.
President Charles Thomasson welcomed all members and our special guest, John-Paul Langbroek MP (see separate article above). Charles briefly reported on the ‘Cluster 7 Muster’ Training day he and Graeme Isaacson attended on the weekend, and also his visit to the Parkwood Rotary Club on Tuesday night, in view of closer cooperation with them at our Project Shed. Further cooperation with Broadwater Southport and others is expected in relation of our Golf Day – how about incorporating a club team competition?
After our guest speaker’s presentation, Charles inducted Paul Jaffra to our club, who recently transferred from the Burleigh Heads club to be closer to his place of work (see photo right). Welcome Paul! Looking forward to your ‘Man behind the Badge’ presentation on 19th August, together with fellow former Burleigh Heads member Johnny Bueti!Ray Higgs confirmed that the Lutzy Award presentation will take place at our meeting of 30th September 2020, Angus Miller circulated a Roster for the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle fundraiser on Saturday 15th August (have you put your name down yet with him?) and President Charles advised that our club is currently in discussion with four Rotary Clubs in South Africa in relation to shipping a container of wheelchairs into that region.
