Monday 31st, we dine at the Queensland College of Wine and Tourism (QCWT). Our Club recognises people in our community who go above and beyond job expectation in their workplace. They get awarded Pride of Workmanship (POW). This has been organised by Vocation Chair, Jim Barnes. I do hope you can be there.
RI President Holger Knaack's theme for 2020-21, Rotary Opens Opportunities, asks Rotarians to create opportunities that strengthen their leadership, help put service ideas into action, and improve the lives of those in need. When I look at the projects undertaken by our Club in 20-21, I realise how busy we have been. Thank you all for your community spirit.
This Friday 28th 4.30pm, we are catering with a BBQ at Heritage. Satellite Club will be working on the Pantry Project this Sunday. Rotarians are people of Action.
Today I had my 1st astrazeneca vaccination shot. If we want to live full happy lives, we need to have the vaccination. Polio is almost irradicated in the world because of people saying yes to a vaccination. It is unfortunate there is so much negativity in the media.
Joining with the Lions last Monday created an opportunity for our Southern Downs Youth Council representatives Harriet and Alex to demonstrate their understanding of Youth needs in our community to two Service groups, Lions and Rotarians. Their objectives are to:
· Develop a better understanding of the role and function of local government, our community and local issues;
· 'Have a voice' - raise issues, exchange ideas, discuss community issues, provide input into Council planning, programs and services and influence local government decision making processes; and
· Have genuine and regular communication about issues that are important to them directly with the Mayor and Council Officers.
There will not be a meeting on Monday 7th June, many members will be writing reports for the annual report. Monday 14th June will be Club Assembly. Melissa Pascoe will be the guest speaker at next Satellite Dinner meeting (see events below).
