Guess Who Came to Dinner

Another great night, organised by Peter Marer, with 4 different hosts opening their homes for dinner on Saturday night. Many thanks to the hosts - John & Gayle, Chris & Donna, Anna & David, Albert & Alison. See the photos in the Photo Gallery.

The week that was....

Over 2,500 people visited the Birkdale land, many took the walking or shuttle tour through the Heritage listed WWII Communications hub, talked to others and had their say, voted for their preferred usage of the land. A terrific community response, and thanks go to our fellow Rotarians from the Wellington Point and Redlands Bayside Clubs for their support on the gates, parking, cleaning etc.. Great job and good to see our clubs working together for this community cause.

This week in Cleveland Rotary

On Tuesday night, Lacey Webb from The Resource Hub joined us to talk about the services they could offer to our club, particularly the Recycling Futures team lead by Gavin Becker and Bob Neich. We also had Gavin's son and daughter-in-law with baby come along - Mimi works with Lacey's team when not on maternity leave. All we need now is the approval from Council to be able to move ahead with the plans on the land in Alexandra Hills. Check out this dynamic team on the link below.

Today - Congratulations and well done to Lyn Packer - 30 laps done and dusted, raising funds for the Redlands Community Centre. Thanks to the club and various members who supported Lyn with this effort.

Story Dogs

Amanda Farrell from Story Dogs, with Buddy (who relished his pats and cuddles from his new found Rotarian friends) visited us on Tuesday night, talking about this terific program and the way it is helping children at schools in the Redlands. Story Dogs is a literacy program, which provides one on one reading to help children who are struggling. The child reads to the dog in a non-judgemental way, gradually improving their communication and reading skills, giving them more confidence. See www.storydogs.org.au for full information.

New Aged Care Act

Last Tuesday Victoria Meyers spoke to us about the recently released outcomes of the Royal Commission into Aged Care. We are privileged to have a member professionally involved in this area, who was able to explain so much for us. For full information go to http://agedcare.royalcommission.gov.au/publications/final-report

RYTS CAMP

Tia from Carmel College and Reece from AITC attended the meeting of the 23rd Feb. They gave a lively presentation of their experience at 2020 RYTS, including showing up Clive in a rendition of the camp theme dance. Photo showing John Simpson giving them a little gift for their efforts.

Crime Stoppers Brisbane Bayside

On Tuesday evening our guest speaker was Robert Plummer, President of the local chapter of Crimne Stoppers, together with his wife and the Treasurer, Kay Plummer. Some of the statistics of crime are mind-boggling, but the Brisbane Bayside group are working hard to make a difference in our community. When thinking about reporting a crime, we need to think in terms of level of emergency - Urgent call 000; non-urgent call Police Link 131 444 or report online and you will need to identify yourself; want to make an anonymous report? Call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

The local group are working with Rotary clubs and other groups to work more closely with the local community - you may see them in our ranks at events in the future.

ANZAC DAY 2021

Date: Sunday Apr 25, 2021, 4:30 am

Please join us on Sunday 25th April 2021 to commemorate ANZAC Day - one of Australia's most important national occasions.

ANZAC Day is the day where we remember and pay tribute to all Australians (and New Zealander's) who have served, continue to serve, and those that paid the supreme sacrifice in all wars and on operational service.

The spirit of ANZAC, with its qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity.

Below is our official ANZAC Day schedule. Please click on it to view it as a pdf.
