Our Last Meeting

Rotary Pins  - the theme for the new Rotary year is "Rotary Opens new Opportunities"
Rotary lapel Pins with the theme on them are available for $6.50
Rather than order them for everyone and not have them used, we thought it was best if individual Rotarians would like to order them, please be in touch with Club Treasurer Mark Ward.

 

Rotary  Board Members are reminded of a special Board meeting this coming Monday 25th May at 3.30 pm on Zoom to discuss new Club Projects for the new year.

 

JOINT MEETING WITH ROTARIANS AND UNIVERSITY

Instead of our yearly joint RUSCCF meeting at the University, this year there will be a virtual meeting.
It will be held on the 24th JUNE 2020 from 6.45pm to 8.15pm.
The Three recipients of the Bursaries awarded this year will address the meeting as well as an update on what is happening at the University.
Our Club will be selling raffle tickets via PayPal before and during the meeting. The proceeds of which will go towards our donation to the bursaries for this year. As there will not be a cost for a meal, hopefully we will do very well!
To date we have donated almost $17,000 in the bursaries.
So please put this meeting on your Calendar!

Thanks Pam

 

Hi Mark

Thank you.  I enjoyed today's meeting and seeing everyone.  Some news from my side here from Jabiru Kakadu National Park where I have been working and kept at times in isolation:  Freedom, we will be allowed to go to Darwin on 5 June at last.

 

In order to protect the Indigenous population we have been stopped from moving within the NT but ........we were lucky to go for walks around this beautiful place with rich fauna, flora and specially history.  I expect that on 5 June Jabiru will be deserted and everyone will head to Darwin to see friends, relatives and shop some fresh produce. 

 

We also have a superb Council pool at Jabiru that has recently re opened.  I have gone back to work full time at the school (I did 2 days from home for a while, my little students are absolutely beautiful!.    The weather is just cooling a little, no more storms and flooding so it is fantastic!

We are not naive so we will be keeping distances but it is great news to be able to visit Darwin on weekends (300kms drive to get there!).

 
I now have my fingers crossed that borders with Qld will open by July and I will be able to come and see you during the July school holidays, we will see.  It is nice to see that the country is doing quite well so far with this pandamic.

A big hug to you all
