- Deborah has some good speakers coming up including from SEQ Water (not too wishy washy I hope) and Clive about Heritage Albums

- Pam spoke about the Chinese NYSF student sponsored by RC Hamilton - Neville did her interview, but only gave her 99/100 because "no one gets 100" - how mean is that?
- Bernie reminded us about the Board Meeting on Monday, and let us know that Brian W spent the afternoon in hospital after crashing his Teslar - put the seven airbags to good use
- Deborah spoke about the proposal for us to do three Car Boot Sales per year - sellers will book & pay online, and it will be promoted through Facebook, assuming they will still be operating in Australia (otherwise Deborah may be waving a large sign out on the highway)
- Alan spoke on the "Tasting lamb and beef" fundraiser - sounds too tasty to be true - apparently all you need is 60 people between 25 and 75yo, and three phase power
A huge THANKYOU!!! to all the members that worked Saturday in the heat plus getting their heads around the new Covid 19 regulations you are all amazing and deserve a round of applause.
NEWS FLASH!! Keith was the first to cook on the New Bunnings BBQ I could not think of a more deserving person to have this privilege pictures and video to follow from Bunnings Caloundra
The figures for the day :-
Cash banked 1236.20
Eftpos sales 303.50 (42 eftpos sales)
Gross 1539.70
Purchases 490.00 approximately -had a little stock on hand
Net Profit $1050.00
White's Super IGA @ Baringa were wonderful had everything ready for pick-up Saturday morning which saved double handling, even the cans of drinks were cold saving a little $$ on ice plus a trade discount giving our club more $$ for future projects, as the saying goes 'watch the cents and the dollars will look after themselves'.
Thank you once again
Yours in Rotary,
Judy Clark
