Mugs for a Flat White a Week initiative were distributed. Stray cash is to be accumulated and forwarded to the Rotary Foundation.

 

Bob’s Barbie – Bob asked the club if there was any enthusiasm to continue this event as numbers have been minimal over the last couple of years. If you have any enthusiasm at all, muster it as it would be sad to see this iconic event drop off the Rotary Calendar.

 

Christmas Puddings have arrived – and there are apparently some extras if you have a spare $20. For those who need to pay the account is:

Speakers Jessica Robinson thanked us for our generous sponsorship! Jessica and 30 others (including her brother who failed to make it this morning) travelled to the 27^th Australian International Music Festival held in Sydney earlier his year. After much fund raising, selling firewood and chocolate they were off to sing for their supper in Sydney’s iconic “Nuns in the Scrum” venue. The mass choir was the highlight if you were religious at all, and if you weren’t there was a big party afterwards, with a few Hallelujahs in the nightclub.

 

Ed’s note Right: David Robinson appears to be texting his buddies during his daughter’s speech.

 

Sergeant: Ray Scott, told us there were only 22 days left in the year – probably less by now and that there was more chance of being killed by the lotto machine than actually winning it.

 

Parting Thought from Kevin Atkinson:

 

“ What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.”
