President's Extra Message
Presidents Changeover Dinner and Pride of Workmanship Awards 27th June 2022
this one is a must for your diary!   Registrations open now! See flyer below;
 
 
 
This month's theme is Rotary Fellowships Month!
June is designated Rotary Fellowships Month to recognize the importance of international fellowship and goodwill among Rotarians with similar recreational and vocational interests, promote increased participation in fellowships, and increase understanding of this program.

What are the benefits for Rotarians in joining the Rotary Fellowships? Fellowship provides opportunities for Rotarians to make lasting friendships outside their own Club, District or country. Fellowships contribute to the advancement of world understanding and peace. Also, Fellowships serve as an incentive for attracting new members to Rotary and retaining our existing members. Indeed, Rotary Fellowship, together with the Rotarian Action Groups, serve as an effective tool in promoting membership development and should be actively promoted in our Districts.
 
There are many Fellowships that would be of interest to our members, and they are detailed on http://www.rotary.org/fellowships.
 
One of our President's favourite Fellowships is the "International Fellowship of Motorcycling Rotarians, and here they are at a group meeting!  They are Rotarians from all around the World!
 
 
 

Our Next Meeting is on Zoom on Monday, the 20th June.  Click here at 12.30pm to join! 

 
 
We have returned to every 2nd week @ the Union hotel (Cnr Pacific Highway & West St, North Sydney)  , and Alternative weeks  via Zoom. 
Check weekly eBulletin for confirmation of venue.
Our Last Monday Meeting on Monday 6th June -  Georgia Thacker, Canteen   
 

Today, we had a visit from Georgia Thacker, from Canteen, to give us an update on their project to supply Xboxes to children who would benefit. You may remember that the club donated $5,000 for this project. 

Canteen have purchased 8 Xboxes and they are “leased” to needy children for 1 year, before being re-evaluated. Canteen expressed enormous gratitude for our assistance and walked us thru two examples of children who have benefited greatly. One being “Charlie” who is autistic, with a high potential for cancer, and who’s sister is already suffering from cancer. One Xbox was sent to the Newcastle Cancer Hub, while another is ready for a “video games event” at Canteen’s Sydney office.  

We thanked Georgia for an informative update and Kate for facilitating this donation. We really appreciated getting an understanding of the benefit this project brought to young children who are suffering from cancer, or have family members with cancer.
