President Alon, will be leading group discussions on our club activities.
This will be our final meeting at the Union hotel, before we move back to Crows Nest, at the Baptist Church Hall.
Last Monday's meeting on 19 March 2018.
Firstly we had a late apology from our guest speaker, Steve Brien due to personal reasons. We hope to hear Steve in the near future talk about the Western Harbour tunnel and Beaches Link Projects.
Once again Tom Sweeney stood-in at the last minute.
Tom recounted , from his Cemetery tours, four interesting people buried at Macquarie.
Adela Pankhurst , a suffragette / pacifist who , amongst many fights, took on our Prime Minister William Hughes over conscription. She was the co-founder of both the Communist Party of Australia and the Australia First Movement
Mary Mackillop's mother(flora), who was drowned at sea, due to a drunken sailor.
1960/70s Disc Jockey Ward "Pally"Austin...
Stephen Bradley , killer of Graeme Thorne (son of the Opera House lottery winner). One of the first cases in Australia solved by using forensics.
All interesting stories... Thank you Tom.
DG Peter Ward has received the following message from DG Steve Hill, from District 9710 covering the area of Tathra.
Good afternoon all
Many clubs and Districts have rung me offering support to the victims of the recent Tathra Fires. In consultation with the IPP of Bega Rotary club we decided not to set up a Rotary account for donated monies but to utilise the local Council Mayoral account that has been set up.
Any clubs or persons wishing to donate can do this through:
Bega Valley Shire Council Mayoral Appeal fund
ANZ Bega
BS 012525
Account Number 837535154
Ian Received this email on the Mewat Toilets Project approved
Hi Ian, Paul, Simon,
Earlier this week we got confirmation that this global grant has been approved. This is an important and exciting milestone, but as you would know the real fun of execution on the ground starts only now!
Thank you for your support and funding contributions - needless to say we would not have got to this stage without that.
The host club has initiated the preliminary paperwork to open the project account and get the mobilisation started. I would be happy to provide more details and updates in due course.
