It was truly a pleasure to welcome back Steve McGregor, a man of many talents. Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to share your wonderful illustrations, stories and books with members today. You are an inspiration. The books can be purchased through our Club and will be featured in The Wahroongler over the next few months. Art is something we can all appreciate.
Congratulations to Rotary International’s newest member Nermine Toma who was inducted at last week’s meeting (classification Pharmacy Owner). Mark Toma and Maria Toma, son and daughter of Nermine, joined the celebrations. Thank you both for coming along. Unfortunately, Nermine’s husband Morris was unable to be with us as he was needed to attend their Pharmacy in Shalvey. The Youth Committee has a fine new member on their team.
Other guests included past member Margaret Small, Maqsood, Simran and Sabarish. Next week Simran and Sabarish will be inducted as new members. Thanks to Sabarish for taking the lead on Simon’s role with the set up for the technical side for our Hybrid meeting. Job well done!
Kerri’s husband, Lars Bryndum, who is always welcome at our Club, arrived with a big smile and a tray of chocolate Easter Bunnies. Anyone who didn’t come to the meeting today missed this treat! Thank you Lars and we wish you the very best. Also, congratulations to you and Kerri-Lea on the birth of a beautiful new granddaughter Zoe-Lea, a sister for Isabelle.
Most of our Bobbo Team were having the week off and a well-deserved break after much hard work. It was great to hear feedback from one of the riders of how positive an experience the Bobbo was for the riders. Please remember we need feedback also from all our volunteers about the organisation of the Bobbin Head Cycle Classic day. Send your feedback directly to the Bobbo Executive team as per the email instructions you received from me on Monday March 23.
Peter and I joined with Nermine, Jim Fulton, Phillip and Shirley to visit with the Rotary Club of St
Ives dinner meeting last week to hear DGE Lindsay May talk on his Sydney to Hobart adventures. Thank you to President Lyndall Pearson and her team for the invitation - and the opportunity to put a plug in for our 'Book Launch' event.
Coming up on the afternoon of Sunday April 11 is the Rotaractors’ Barefoot Bowls event - talk to Ross Caterall for bookings and on Saturday May 1, Jo-Ann’s Fundraiser Book Launch, house tour, tea and more! Look for more information in this bulletin and on the website.
See you all for our next meeting with National Youth Science Forum students Xavier and James from Knox Grammar with Sue Owen and two new member inductions.
Wishing you all a very Happy Easter, travel safely and keep well.
Exciting times in England; from this week we are allowed to meet one other household outside, or follow the rule of six. Even more exciting for Rotarians is the news that golf courses are 
ying’. Can’t wait for a similar sanction on Rotarians who don’t mute on Zoom!
