First Zoom meeting

Last night we had our first Zoom meeting, with 26 people in attendance - well done! Hope to see more of you next week (Robin is to be congratulated - he wore his bowtie - but did he have his pants on????). Maybe next week we can all put up a virtual background - let's see where in the world we have been.

Pres. Luis outlined some of the world wide statistics of Corona Virus, particularly in relation to Italy, where Gabriel is quarantined with his host family. Anna reports that Theri has moved to Judy Holland's home in Raby Bay, and is doing fine under the circumstances. No inbound or outbound students have had to return home, all safe and well with their respective hosts.

Ideas for activities, projects we can do while this crisis runs it's course - send you ideas to Luis, share them with fellow Rotarians. Send articles etc. to John Simpson for the Redlander, or to Elwyn or Shirley for the website.

Have a great week everyone. Now more than ever, practice Service Above Self.

Tim's caravan ..and DIK

Members Corner never fails to bring us some surprising, informative aspect of the life of a fellow Rotarian. Last Week Tim told us about being very disappointed that he could not purchase the caravan he wanted, so he built his own. As a skilled craftsman, the results were terrific, and Tim and Merle will be enjoying some wonderful holidays in their new caravan.

As most members are aware, there has been some problems with our wonderful service - Donations in Kind Northern Region over the last 12-18 months. On Sunday 1st March a workshop was held at DIK in Kingston, to brainstorm the future direction of this vital service.

Memories of Vanuatu, a new member & the Hon. Robin Archer

PE John Simpson led a group discussion about members and friends involvement in the Library Project in Santis, Vanuatu. They talked about how much they enjoyed and appreciated the experience and how grateful and delighted the children were with their new books. Our Exchange Student, Theri was so grateful for the experience as she never thought that she would visit a Paciic Island. For more photos see the Photo Gallery.

IPP Jan Kilbourne also inducted Victoria Meyers, classification Senior Care. Victoria has joined the Membership Committee. Welcome to the Mighty Club Victoria!.

Another container for PNG

Another container heading to Lae very shortly for All Saints Elementary School and Mary Queen Primary School - desks, chairs, books, water bottles and warm jackets (ex motor racing event) for the people in Watut in Bulolo Parish - high country where it does get cold in the winter. As usual these meet the needs specified by Bishop Rozario.

This time, on Thursday 20th Feb, we had tremendous help from some students from Australian Industry Trade College in packing the container - many thanks to David Breeze and Lee Stone for organising and brining the boys out.What a tremendous group of young men they were, willing to help and so courteous and polite in every way. They are keen to return to do more in this area, which is great for DIK as much help is needed there.

Albert celebrated his 83rd birthday with us that day - what else does a passionate Rotarian do on his 83rd birthday??
