Guest speaker was Jeanne Motteram - More Time and Less Stress
In 2017 Jeanne moved to the Sunshine Coast, the best place to live, and started Colomba Property. The business assists seniors clear out their homes when they move into Aged Care Facilities, or families dealing with deceased estates. Jeanne is a member of RC Maroochydore.
The meeting was chaired by Trevor, whose first duty was to welcome visitors:
Brian and Elly, hopefully soon to be menbers
Tim Hamilton - Division Two Candidate
Special thanks to "Charlie's Angels" Bernie, Sue and Judy, who organized the Movie Night
Gerry proposed the International Toast to RC Dondo, Mozambique.
President Bernie
gave her address
- Thanks all to a successful Movie Night
- 13th to 15th March District Conference - Gary, the Rotary Foundation Chair will be a speaker. We need photos sent to conference@rotary9600.org - send any to Roger to package and send
- Info to insurers
Jeanne gave us some of her hard won tips for cleaning out houses
- Sort and decide whats to be kept - this is emotional, but "does this make me happy?" or is a photo enough
- What to sell and how to sell, from garage sales, markets, antique dealers, eBay and Gumtree - take photos rather than dragging stuff around - 50s and 60s stuff is popular - dealers will give you 30-50% of market value
- How to give stuff away - not always as easy as you think - needs to be in good condition - Bloomhill, Salvation Army
- and how to dump stuff - skip bags and bins, and locking them in the garage to deter "neighbours"
Trevor and Bernie thanked Jeanne

Tim Hamilton gave a brief outline of his background and policies for Division Two.
Tim has been a Caloundra resident for 40 years except for some time post high school.
He has been on the CBD Task Force for five years.
Caloundra needs more funding - the Town Square project is close to his heart.
... and he must have luck on his side because he won Merv's bottle of wine.
