President's Message

Doug Lipp

Welcome to the Surfers Sunrise Post,
 
There was a debrief at Mario’s home last week re the Pentecost Island project.  The building has not been completed as the new flooring had not arrived at the Island before the work crew left.  This was discussed at last Wednesday's board meeting and it was decided that the Rotary Club would assist with flight costs to workers who would be able to return to complete the project.  Hopefully, this will be in early September but it depends on who is available to go at this time.
 
The Rotary Club of Hope Island made a generous donation to the Wheelchair Trust from their surplus funds from the boat show held at Sanctuary Cove.  I would like to thank Geoff Croad who organised this and Hope Island Rotary for their donation.
 
This Wednesday, we have the “Lutzy Awards.”  This is a major event for our club whereby we donate a surf ski to a young surf lifesaver from the Surfers Paradise Surf Club.  Thanks to Ray Higgs who does all the organisation for this and to Graeme Isaacson who liases with the Surf Club for the breakfast.  Hope to see you all there.
 
Details of the Board meeting held last Wednesday, are on ClubRunner (you need to login - under Member Area, Organisation, Documents).
 
Quote for the week: "Someday is not a day of the week." Janet Dailey, American Author
 
See you Wednesday.
 
Doug Lipp,
President 2023-24.

Evan Mita answers 33 Questions
If you were present a few weeks ago when our new member Evan Mita and his boss Aaron Jackson presented on their organisation Mission Australia. At the time, Evan was also intended to say a few words about himself, his hobbies and passions, his family. Well, there simply wasn't sufficient time. 
 
So, I thought I'd re-introduce the '33 Questions' format again. Download the PDF from the Downloads Section on the right. Enjoy!
