Our meeting last week was full of good humour and entertainment and President Janelle was very proud to induct the Club's first husband and wife partnership (noted by courtesy Rob Ferguson). Simran Talwar and Sabarish Chirakkal were introduced to the meeting by Mentie Knowles and were enthusiastically welcomed by the members as their induction to the Club was completed. Both new members have shown their willingness to participate in Club activities over the last month or two - attending functions and Sabarish supporting the meeting technology required to embrace the Zoom attendees in recent weeks. Congratulations to both inductees. President Janelle acknowledged Simran's lengthy connection with Rotary as her father is a member of the Rotary Club of Bombay Mulund Valley and the immediate past District Governor of District 3141 (India). ---------------------- Our special guest speakers for the meeting were Xavier Knight and James Sung, young Knox representatives introduced by PP Sue Owen as the Clubs' chosen candidates who attended the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) in January 2021. PP Sue chose to interview the students with pre-prepared questions which sought to explore their reactions to the unusual online forum style due to Covid-19, and encouraged them to enunciate the value they received from the experience and any influence it may have had on the life and choice of career options. More of the boys impressions from the Forum in "Read More" below The students were very articulate and gracious in their praise of the opportunity to attend the Forum. I am sure family members who attended the meeting in support of the boys were extremely proud. Eva and Robin, Sue, Janelle, Xavier , James, and Chang Thank you to Helen Clarke for her participation in the choice of candidates. |
