President’s Report Last week we held our Board meeting. Natalie reported on several prizes for our Polio raffle
which culminates in the dinner in October and we discussed our final distribution of funds.
Last weekend Laura Sparkes and Curtis Lauro from QHS attended RYPEN at Mogo –
sounds like it was a great camp.
Please remember this week’s meeting will be replaced by the movie ‘Sunshine on Leith’ at
Limelight Cinemas, Tuggeranong – organised by Rotary Club of Woden Daybreak as their
MS Australia Fund Raiser 2014. Details of how to get you tickets are within this newsletter.
See you there.

THIS WEEK The Rotary Club of Woden Daybreak is holding a charity movie night. The proceeds of the
night will go to MS Australia and will be spent in the local Canberra community.

Adapted from the renowned stage show by Scottish playwright Stephen Greenhorn and
built around 13 songs from the accomplished folk-rock duo The Proclaimers, Sunshine on

Hi, Great news! We’ve been nominated to participate in the Grill’d Local Matters donation program at Grill'd Manuka for the month of May 2014 Every month, Grill’d donates $500 to local groups and asks their customers to decide who the money goes to. When customers buy a burger, they will receive a token to put into one of 3 jars representing different groups. Whoever has the most tokens at the end of the month receives $300. The other two groups receive $100 each. To do your bit to help our cause, spread the word and head on down to Grill'd Manuka located at 40-42 Franklin Street Manuka ACT 2603
