I have to say that our Rotary Club is starting to make me smile! smiley
 
Membership Director, Di Scheepers gave a few of us chance to share our experiences in Rotary with the club at the last meeting. It was an opportunity to open up the possibilities we already have and hopefully inspire members to push the envelope a little bit harder. I am looking forward to hearing other members stories at future meetings to challenge our thinking and start getting creative with our involvement with the community and beyond.
 
So much more is going on than meets the eye. On the back of Simon Papero, our Busker/small business support meeting, which raised $240 on low club attendance sad, we have Jen Marshall and Jane Moore looking for new opportunities to help local business. We are leaders in our community and small business is part of our support network. We need to get with the program and do what we can to keep businesses viable in our community. It is challenging for sure, but if you care about our standing with local business, get behind Jen and Jane and do something about it! 
 
Then we have creative thinker PP Bruce Shaw. Bruce has come up with a new project to push us all to a new level. Easter in the Park is aimed at primary school children and their parents spending a couple of hours on an Easter Egg hunt, the Sunday before Easter in Pioneers Park. Bruce is at the concept stage and it will depend on how many members like and will support the concept, so it can be turned into a project. A lot of work has already gone into it. It is designed to replace Carols by Candlelight and Australia Day, as the Board is not confident that we could run these events under the current COVID restrictions.
 
Our Club is about engaging with the community. Please lend your support to Jen, Jane and Bruce to develop these projects further.
