Spring Garden Trailer Raffle - halfway there!

The Queensland Health Department COVID-19 restrictions hit us this week, and the decision was made to cancel our stand at the markets on Sunday and Tuesday this week. The trailer can only be displayed at the markets, so this restricts our selling opportunities. We have a couple of weeks where we are competing with Legacy and Cancer Council for space in shopping centres, and also very mindful of the latest COVID-19 warnings and the health of our members, so your support in promoting the online sales is very important to the success of the project. We need YOUR Help now - please see the roster in Events and Notices below, choose a date or two where you or your partner can help by selling tickets. The shopping centres are inside, you will be seated in pleasant surroundings and have the chance to chat with people from our community.

Meetings, raffles etc.

A very busy couple of weeks has seen our 2nd meeting at Cleveland District State High School - another successful evening, with Peter Pollock, Redcity Roar Basketball, talking to us about the development of basketball in our area. The BBQ trailer has been put to good use, and Peter also offered us a chance to sell tickets for the trailer raffle last Saturday night. Great opportunities for the club to be out and about in the community in a COVID safe way. The results of the ticket sales at the Crazy Day Market, Sunday markets and the shopping centres is going well - more helpers needed so please check the rosters and see if you can assist.

From Israel to Brisbane

Maya Glassman, our University of Queensland Peace Fellow from Israel and her husband Gabe joined us at our first face to face meeting in 4 months. Maya told us of her early life, how she became a peace activist, and what brought her to this point in her life, studying peace and conflict resolution as a Rotary Peace Fellow. We will be hearing more from Maya in the coming year or so, and welcome both Maya and Gabe to the Rotary Club of Cleveland.

Our new venue was a success - good food and service thanks to the students and parents of Cleveland District State High School. It is very important for members to register attendance on the website, as numbers are limited in the current climate. Those who cannot attend in person will be able to attend via Zoom. Next meeting Tuesday 11th August at CDSHS.

Our social meeting on 4th August has been cancelled - so you have a night off. Why not contact Logan or another club that meets on a Tuesday, and Zoom into their meeting?

20 Years of Disaster Relief

ShelterBox was founded in the small town of Helston, Cornwall UK, by the Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard.

We hope you'll join us in celebrating 20 years of ShelterBox.

We've come a long way since our humble beginnings as a Rotary club project to grow to be a partner with Rotary International and a world leader in emergency shelter provision. None of this would have been possible without the help of supporters like you.

With six current deployments in places like Vanuatu and Tanzania, evaluations underway in Burkina Faso and Somaliland and operations planning in Nigeria and India, we're as busy as ever. The COVID-19 crisis has added another level of difficulty, but we're determined to continue our important work.

Shelter saves lives.
