Stephen's adventure north - Visit to Rotary Club of Darwin Sunrise
During his travels to the NT, Member Stephen visited the Rotary Club of Darwin Sunrise on Friday, 24 May. This was a pleasant meeting over breakfast, with guest speaker Rotarian and ABC journalist Kirsty Nancarrow speaking about the work of Som Tamang, a Nepalese child slave who escaped and is helping educate children through a school in his home village. She’s written a book on his story, Himalayan Dreams, and is seeking to raise money to enable the school to continue until Year 12 (it currently only goes to Year 10). Kirsty is willing to talk to our Club if she’s in Canberra on a meeting day, and I will touch base with her about this. The Rotary Club of Darwin Sunrise has a formal setting, with the President and another Board member at the front table directing the meeting. They also still have fines and raise further money through a raffle.

Wollundry Rotary Club Photograph Competition and Exhibition
Entries are now open and close on June 3rd, so get your entries in soon!
Entries can be made on any camera type, phone or traditional, and need only be 8"x12" in size.
Since digital photography has become popular, there are thousands of images made each day, many never seeing the light of day. And that's a real shame as there are some excellent shots just waiting to shine out.
News Notes is sent out each Monday. And Stephen is back on board next week!
Please send items for inclusion to sjmcmillan1974@live.com by 10 am Monday.
