President's Message

Paul Seymour

The Project Shed will now remain closed till mid-February, due to a large number of current Covid outbreaks and thus the potential health risk for the volunteers. Larry Murray will monitor the situation and advise when the Shed can once again re-open.
 
Regrettably, we also had a number of positive Covid cases within our Rotary family. Therefore, we decided to cancel our Bunnings sausage sizzle planned for this coming Friday. Geoff Croad will arrange for a later date with Bunnings.
 
We are currently looking at the hire of a Bunnings trailer or a ute for upcoming Bunnings BBQs. Whilst this has certain minor costs, it will take pressure off Geoff and other members using their own vehicles and the work load can now be spread around.

No "official" meeting this Wednesday (Australia Day)
This coming Wednesday 26th January is Australia Day, a public holiday and thus we won't have an "official" meeting. Anyone who wants to come over to the Surfers Paradise Surf Club anyway might still find a few fellow Rotarians there, in spite of the fact that two of three of our members (or their family members) are in isolation. As far as we are aware though, none of them are seriously ill; wishing you all a speedy recovery.
 
Next week (Wednesday 2nd February), however, we'll have a planned 'formal' meeting upstairs, with our wheelchair athletes and fellow members Adam Sheppard and Tash Price presenting.  Next Wednesday we'll also welcome Kate Worboys, freshly back from her RYTS camp experience.
 
Bunnings sausage sizzle cancelled

Regrettably, due to a number of our club members and/or their family members testing positive, we decided to cancel this Friday's fundraiser. Geoff Croad will communicate with Bunnings to arrange for an alternative date when hopefully the situation will have stabilised again.

Thank you to all the people who offered to help - we'll be in touch when a new date has been set.

Project Shed expected to reopen on 19th February
We regret to advise that our Project Shed at the Arundel Community Centre remaines closed until further notice, due to a number of our regular key volunteers as well as members testing positive to COVID. At this stage, we hope to reopen again on Saturday 19th February. We'll advise as soon as we are able to confirm.
 
However, we expect our regular club meetings to take place as per schedule, every Wednesday morning (except no meeting this week, due to Australia Day public holiday).
 
 
 
District Conference coming up in 10 weeks
This year's event is going to be a real country affair, it's in Tenterfield! Go to the Conference Website https://rotary9640.org/page/district-conference and check out what's happening. There you find the program, a brief summary of all the Keynote Speakers, and of course, you can register. But of course, one of the big attractions of attending a conference is always the deep feeling of Rotary Fellowship. Being in the country, formalities will be kept to a minimum. Here is another introduction of a keynote speaker:
 
Here is another one of the speakers I certainly wouldn't want to miss: Al Mabin describes herself a 'Visual Storyteller'. She is also a traumatic brain injury survivor. Her company was founded to inspire positive action, reconnect people to the outback way of life and celebrate the essence of the Aussie bush through the power of storytelling. And to top it all off, she is a highly accomplished photographer and has published several books with her work.
