This week we welcome partners and guests of Rotarians.
Our guest speakers tonight, are Debbie Campbell of Karkoo and Mark Rawles of Tumby Bay who have been affected by Leukaemia. We look forward them telling us their stories so we can strengthen our awareness about Leukaemia and the assistance that they and their families and carers need as they deal with their individual situations.
They will also be showing us a DVD which backgrounds the Leukaemia Foundation’s “Light the Night “fundraising event which is to be held on the foreshore lawns near MAKYBE DIVA’s statue, after dusk on Friday evening 25th September.
As I pointed out last week, our Club has undertaken to support the Foundation by assembling a number of locally supplied marquees on the foreshore lawns during the day, and supply and cook a BBQ tea for the attending public “Light the Night” event in the evening.
Net proceeds from the BBQ will go to Leukaemia Foundation.
Please fill in the Roster Task sheet for this project if you are able to help.
Next week (1st Sept) we have Committee meetings. Doesn’t seem that long since the last ones, but I hope we can have a few more Rotarians in attendance at the dinner meeting and follow on the Committees afterwards to enjoy our Club’s own special fellowship.
Some Reminders:
- To all those who by now are getting used to donating blood, that the Red Cross Blood Bank facilities will be back in town during the week commencing the 7th September.
- Change of Dinner date and Venue: Tues 15 Sept (Ravendale) to Wed 16 Sept at 6.30 for 7pm at Lions Hostel, North Shields. Still $20.00pp.
- Great Australian Bike Ride: Arriving in Port Lincoln late Wednesday afternoon 16th September. Welcome dinner at the Lion’s Hostel which is our Rotary Dinner meeting and local service club representatives will be joining us for this dinner.
- Please support Rod Patterson in organising the associated events for the GABR as he detailed last week, check the Roster task List for this project.
- There is a GABR Fundraising Dinner to be attended by the riders and support crew and some invited guests, at the Boston Bay Winery on Wednesday night 6.30 for 7 pm. A Gourmet BBQ by Tony Ford is worthwhile, and there will be raffles to raise money for Australian Rotary Health. Rotarians and their guests are cordially invited.
