Pride of Workmanship at the Whale this Thursday
We have seven nominations for our annual Pride of Workmanship Awards which will be presented at a special dinner at The Whale (6 for 6.30) this Thursday.
It is a partners’ night and space might be tight, so please ensure you let Anthony know numbers by Tuesday night. (Two course meal with tea/coffee $32.)
This is a wonderful program which is greatly appreciated by many local businesses.
It gives them the opportunity, through Rotary, to acknowledge the efforts of their employees.
Hope to see you there.

The Big Walk
As Michael prepares to head off on his walk he asked Shanna Provost to draw the raffle for the beautiful quilt that Donna made.
The winner was Marg Broadbent of Bega Rotary Club who bought her ticket at the Goulburn Conference.
Why is Rotary Investing in Zero and Beyond?
When was polio last in Europe? If you guessed 2002, the year the region was certified polio-free, you’re wrong. The last time polio affected a child in Europe was 2015. Outbreaks like the one that occurred in Ukraine that year are why, although we are so close to eradicating polio, we still need $1.5 billion more to finish the job.

Busking Championship
A message from Sandra
Just flagging that the judges for the Busking Championships will need accommodation for 26 and 27 May I would imagine that breakfast would be the only meals as Friday night they should be at Club Narooma watching The String Family and maybe at the Golf Club on Saturday night. They will be Rotarians. Could you all consider this please and advise me when able.
Oyster Festival
Don’t forget the Oyster Festival on 5 & 6 May. John has already emailed the roster to members and there are a few spaces still available. Please let John know if you can help.
