President's Notes

Hope everyone has had a fantastic week. Last week's talk from Roger has really inspired me to think about some potential projects and/or activities we could start or get involved in.  If anyone has any suggestions, please get in touch as it’d be great to hear from you.
 
 
Roger spoke about his experience of "surviving COVID as a charity". Roger became President of the Cobble Hill Farmers Institute just prior to the COVID lockdowns. The organisation has been going for 113 years and is about promoting rural life, importance of agriculture in today's society and celebrating the legacy of agriculture.  They had to figure a way to raise funds to maintain their heritage buildings with the loss of income through being unable to rent them out for events. They found a unique way through baking pies and selling to the community during lockdown.  If you missed Roger's presentation you can access it through the following YouTube link - click here
 
 
The extraordinary effort at the Jacaranda Festival from a wide range of Rotary clubs, community groups and just general volunteers shows there’s plenty of people able to assist if and when needed.
 
Congratulations to Kenn Williams for being recognised for the tremendous amount of work he has done over the years ensuring the success of the Jacaranda Festivals and putting in place measures that will ensure the sustainability of the event for future years to come. Kenn was added to the MAL TAYLOR shield recognising club members who have had made exceptional contributions over a period of time to the running of the Festivals. Kenn joins Mal, George Mavros, John Kelly and Chris Whelan.

Really looking forward to Gordon’s talk tomorrow, see everyone there.

 
Rotarian's In ACTION
 
Thirteen Rotarians from Applecross, Booragoon and E-Rotary clubs spent 4 hours at Foodbank and packed 640 'GIVE A FEED' food hampers.  A fantastic effort and Applecross Rotary Community Director Brett Hammill sent the following message to the volunteers - 
 
All,
I want to say a BIG Thankyou to everyone who attended Foodbank today for the “Give a Feed” Hamper packing. What a fun day we had and wasn’t it great just getting to know each other better, working hard, and in doing so, helping an enormously worthwhile cause and one that Rotary is proud to be associated with.
 
I also found it interesting as to what was going into the hampers and how organised Foodbank was with regard to the process. In doing so, it made it easy for us to pack our 640 hampers onto 16 pallets.  Well done to our Rotarian Family and friends, and a big Thankyou to Foodbank as well.
 
I would have no hesitation in attending again next year given how easy it is to make a difference, and I hope that most of you feel the same.
 
Brett
