Macky Area Rotary Clubs sponsored vocational training teams visit of 14 Nurses and Midwives arrived into Mackay to a warm welcome from district members. The Nurses and Midwives are in the region to train at the Central Queensland University Nursing Campus for a five week course.
2023 began in spectacular style with a wonderful Sponsor’s Dinner.
Thank you to Ray for planning and organising I was thrilled to hear all the sponsors were delighted with the evening. We had several sponsors committing to this year’s Tractor Pull on the spot, which makes the Tractor Pull’s organisers job a little easier.
Ian Crookshank representing the Rotary Foundation, will be attending this week’s meeting. I know you’ll all make him feel welcomed
If you’re attending the Australia Day event at the Ocean International, please remember to book in. It is usually an interesting event and a chance to meet and socialise with Rotarians from other clubs.
Did you spot the article about Cambodia in the Mackay Life? It featured Col and the wonderful work of the Rockhampton Fitzroy Rotary Club. It is a great read. Thanks to Bente for ensuring it was published and for adding it to the Facebook page.
