Please note the Car Park Code is 7454 for Thursday.
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE
This will be a great Ceremony to celebrate the International Day of Peace. Michael will be organising and we have the Chief Minister attending to present the Prize. So 11.00am on Saturday the 21st we can get out in the sun and enjoy hopefully some warm weather.
THE CANDLE FESTIVAL TAIYAKI TENT
Bill is getting this event organised and will be calling for helpers in the near future.
WODEN DAYBREAK MANGO FUND RAISER.
What could be better than ripe Mangos for Xmas. The Club sources high quality Mangoes from a grower in Queensland and all indications are the Mangos are looking good this season. The expected pickup date is the 16th of December but this could be later if the Mangoes do not quite ripen properly. You can order through Trybooking in the link given below
The cost is $27.00 per tray of Mangoes. I bought them last year and they were great.
Yours in Rotary
Russell Dew
Club survey reminder
On 5 September President Russell sent out a questionnaire to all members on a possible merger with other Clubs. If you have not already done so, please respond to this, so that the Board can assess all Members’ views before taking any decisions.
