Today (Saturday 6th Feb) we had a wonderful afternoon of fellowship to raise money for Charmaine’s Cambodian trip. Our wonderful hosts were Michael and Donna with Michael cooking up a storm and many others helping out.
Michael and Donna opened up their house and provided everything so that all moneys raised went to Charmaine’s most worthy cause. Thank you to Michael and Donna and to all who attended.
The large earthquake in Taiwan saw lots of damage but Radar’s family and Kayla (the outbound student from Bega who is staying with Radar’s parents) are all safe and well. Kayla managed to sleep through the event. Our thoughts go out to the people who have been displaced through this disaster.
Many thanks to Angie who has again put together a great display of Narooma Rotary. It is important to get information out to the community about us by all means of media – Angie with great displays, Charmaine with face book, Frank with the Beacon and web site and Laurelle with our media releases to the paper and radio. Great effort everyone and much appreciated.
NEXT THURSDAY we are meeting at the Golden Palace Chinese Restaurant (next to O’Brien pub) to celebrate Chinese New Year. BYO wine only $2.50 corkage – Beer and Soft drink available there. $25 per head . There will be red envelopes available to put small amounts in for Radar as a gift for Lunar New Year and extra spending money for his trip. As a Monkey I’m excited about this!!! Bring your partners and friends along but make sure you tell Anthony by Tuesday 5 pm so we can finalise numbers with the restaurant.
Our donation to the Solar Panel project for the Kinema roof will be handed over on the 23 which is Rotary’s 111 Birthday. We are giving the present.
Karin Geiselhart will be our guest speaker on the 25th. Karin is an expert on Climate Change and not only an interesting speaker but also a person who can answer your questions. Not only a partners night but invite 10 friends.
