Recently , Jean Thomson from the Corrimal Club through her contact Janice Reid , was sent back an update from a Tasmanian Rotarian , Kevin Shadbolt , who returned recently from Nepal.

This week I’d like to pass on congratulations and thanks to Club members in a number of areas.

It was great to see the mission team from our sister Rotary Clubs of Glenhaven and Harden attend our meeting this morning. When looking through the presentation this morning it was inspiring to see the mate ship that formed between the groups. Over the years I have always been blown away how the skills of the team/s have met the requirements of the project/s from building to the various medical requirements. Well done team.
Team all back safe and sound all project items completed well done group. See you all tomorrow with a report back.

Michael has devoted a lot of personal time and…
Last Friday, the Club enjoyed a Vocational visit to the House of Hope Food Barn at Warrawong. A more comprehensive report on the morning is in this week’s Newsletter. But a few observations of my own on the work of the Food Barn. Run for 10 years by Pastors Jeff and Gally Dakers , and led by the bubbly General Manager Lizzie Millar, this wonderful organisation turns no-one away in their time of need ,…

Congratulations to Brian Ashe and his team for once again putting…
