BY ORDER OF THE ROTARY FOUNDATION CENTAURIONS AWARDED

Another bang for our buck to the start of 2023...Club Members mark milestone with Centaurion Member presentations.

It was wonderful that the club was acknowledge for its commitment to the Rotary Foundation and for 100% of our members being Centurions. Thanks to Col for donating the money from the brass and copper that club members sorted for him. The board decided that the money donated would be used to pay for all members to be centurions. Money that goes to the Foundation is used for projects that come back to our region, like the Vocational Training for the Timor Leste midwives.

The Four-Way Test - of the things we think, say or do. Is it the truth?

Is it fair to all concerned?

Will it build goodwill and better friendships?

Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

In fellowship we share this meal, supporting each other in the Rotary ideal May we the Four-Way Test observe, Living less for self and more to serve.

Ray will be giving out more detail about our club’s outing with the midwives on February 4th and taking numbers at this week’s meeting. You don’t have to commit to the museum and picnic, although I’m sure both will be great opportunities to mix and mingle with Mox and the ladies. Ray, Rita, Ian, Mario and Bente have all represented the club in various roles supporting the midwives They are all a credit to our club and are representing us admirably in the eyes of local, as well as district Rotarians and the wide community.

Some of us were able to catch up with the midwives at the Australia Day event at Ocean International. It was a lovely day with lots of laughter and informative live streams. I was also able to catch up with Robin an Inbound Exchange student from France, who is with his third and last host family, PDG Marty and his wife They travelled from Angus Waters for the event PDG Adele also made the trip to meet the midwife team
