Presidents Report

There was a suggestion that there should be a Direc-

tor of Fun for Rotary, well I think we already have sev-

eral. Last Wednesday Richard and Rewa, along with

Ken and Shirley gave us another superb night of Fun

and Fellowship.

The fun included the building of towers with newspa-

pers, the paper plane competition, and, for the more

cerebral, first lines of books and sayings from films.

Very wide ranging tastes and knowledge required.

We all enjoyed ourselves immensely.

The year rolls on inexorably, the handover Board

meeting is on the 14th of June, we are organizing the

tables for changeover, the Annual report copy is due.

I feel as though I might know what to do by the time

the year is over.

We even have definite dates for the mock job inter-

views which we are going to do for Sandringham; the

interviews are on Monday the first and Tuesday the

second of August 2016.

Heather has had great success with her Community

garden proposal, lots of interest at the meeting held

on Saturday the 21st of May, there’s obviously a huge

appetite for this sort of community building activity.

Heather’s also been doing Grant Applications to help

fund the project, we have as a Club committed some

money but it’s always good to get grants. Heather will

no doubt fill us all in on Thursday. The next two

Thursdays we are in for a treat, Mary Cunnington

speaks this coming Thursday, doing her new member

Mindless Mayhem Night

Despite the first truly wintery night of the year a stalwart

band of Members and Partners turned up at the Beau-

maris Community Centre to have their talents and ingenu-

ity tested.

Richard, Rewa, Ken and Shirley are to be congratulated

for creating a night of fun and challenges.

A Striking View

Photograph by Christoph Schaarschmidt,

National Geographic Your Shot

Streaking from a sky as red as the earth,

lightning strikes the famous dome-shaped,

sandstone monolith Uluru, in Uluru-Kata

Tjuta National Park, Australia. “I had

heard a lot about how beautiful Uluru

should look when it rains. But I never

believed that I would see it with my own

eyes because the Red Centre of Australia

is a very arid area.”
