Hello Club Members

 

Our club helped renovate the Clubhouse and they have invited us back to view the improvements and enjoy some pikelets with them at 7.15 at the 3^rd Scout Group Hall at Lot 19 Hovea St, O’Connor. The Scouts will be making pikelets and hot drinks for us. This will be our excursion for May. There will be no meeting on Thursday this week.

 

I have booked the Ottoman Restaurant for Thursday, 26 June for our Changeover Dinner costing $100.00 each. Drinks are paid for individually. The venue caters for up to 65 people in a separate room where our speaker can use audiovisual facilities. The proposed speaker is Kent Fitch, presenting on the topic “Autonomous Cars in the ACT Region”. I will invite other Clubs to attend and I will ask George to ask the members of the Deakin Residents Association to attend.

 

The Tuggeranong Rotary Club is having its Changeover dinner on Wednesday, 18 June at the LDK Greenway Views Restaurant. The cost is $35.00. There are no speakers advertised but if you want to attend then contact Sue O’Donnell at clubservice@rotarytugg.info. The menu on the night gives options for Cowra Lamb, Oven Roasted Chicken, Eton Mess and a selection of Australia cheeses.

 

On 30 May 90 plus Year 6 students from the Majura School will come for a one-hour tour of the Nara Peace Park at 1.00pm. To date I have confirmation from Bill, Astrida and myself for Guides on the day and if possible 4 Guides as there are 4 Classes coming.

 

ASTRIDA IS LOOKING INTO A CASH DONATION BOX AT CANBERRA AIRPORT.

Many of you would have noticed a cash donation box at the Sydney International Airport for donation of Australian and foreign coins and notes. We are looking to create a similar box at the Canberra Airport and this could help raise funds for our charities. Astrida is contacting the Sydney Rotary Club to find out the supplier of the stand and obtain the cost of purchase.

 

Yours in Rotary
