Last Monday we had committee meetings with the following brief reports:Tony reported that the Movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" is being released and can be used by Rotary as a fundraiser for Polio Eradication. It is hoped either Tenterfield or Warwick will take up this offer and we will then be able to support these Rotary Clubs.
Alec reported running a sausage sizzle for the opening of the Big Thermometer with over $300 profit. Thanks to Marie and Leanne W from Satellite group plus Jim Baxter, PeterW, Peter K, Alec & Denise for their efforts. We still have a promise from a couple of years back to help the Chamber of Commerce with some landscaping and Mick Spiller also asked about a second picnic shelter in the future. Given the opposition to the current development we are a little reluctant but Morwenna has seen an alternative idea of a solar seat where travellers can recharge phones etc and possibly even access the internet and Mick was quite enthusiastic. The idea is being investigated.
The Drought Fundraiser event planning is progressing well and members are encouraged to get their $20 tickets at the Bendigo Bank and organise a table of 8 for Trivia. See poster below for details.
International committee reported only 4 volunteers to host Friendship exchange so this is not going ahead for Stanthorpe club.
Youth Committee have organised for Marie to speak to the Interact Club and she will also speak to Monday Club when a date is organised.
David Lee presented information packs to members from the Membership Committee.
Gourmet in Gundy is on this Sunday and we have 3 car loads organised to support the Gundy Cliub and for an enjoyable day. There will be no meeting next Monday night.
Satellite Club have a meeting next Wednesday 12th Sept
A reminder that each committee needs to present a written report to the next Board meeting on 13th Sept when Kim will be back from R&R.
With the coming of a couple of new members to our club there have been enquiries about obtaining our Apple green Stanthorpe shirts. They can be purchased by visiting Stanthorpe Embroidery and Workwear on the corner of Victoria and Locke Streets and giving one of the ladies there the size you require. They will organise it for you. There have been some changes in details of the shirts over the years since we changed to Apple Green to distinguish ourselves from Lions but the bright green is similar enough to be distinctive and look like we are a team.
