President Keith's Report 11 October 2021
|
I have seen pictures of Tony’s first Street Mailbox and this looks good.
The guest appearance of Cecile Schuldiener from Street Libraries Australia clarified several issues. Wasn’t it fantastic to see a lady with all that drive and purpose. I have just booked Vanilla Cream Café for Saturday 22 January, 2022 at 12:30pm. Tables for 36. This is for the President’s Lunch. Looking forward to next week’s Club Forum. Stay Safe. Keith |

Westmead Institute of Medical Research
“COVID -19 Variants and Vaccines, the Lockdown update”
COVID-19: Variants & Vaccines, the Lockdown Update - YouTube
The presentation was accurate as of 9th July 2021. Some widening of the age group acceptability for the AstraZeneca vaccine have been made since that presentation date.
The 2 main speakers were Internationally renowned experts in immunology and vaccine development, Professor Tony Cunningham and Professor Sarah Palmer.
I have attached a link to that presentation. It is well worth watching.
I also took some Notes and attach for those who only wish to get a quick grab - but the notes don’t do the presentation justice.
Kind Regards
Colin McGowan

Hi All Members.
We are not the only travellers planning to get home. We had Happy Hour with two couples from Tasmania last night plus they have two friends who altogether are planning on getting home to Tassie. They have applied for a Victorian border pass which gives them 24 hours from crossing the border to arrive at the ferry terminal in Melbourne otherwise they have to go into quarantine. Another Tassie traveller in Queensland returning home had to divert into Northern Territory then to South Australia and then make a run for the Ferry.
That prevented them from being put into quarantine in the eastern states.
Cheers. Howard and Megan.

What it takes to be a Rotarian
There are members of the community who may have some misunderstandings about what it takes to be a Rotarian.
We are always looking for new members and, in fact, it is new people joining that keeps us alive as a Service club. From time to time I hear people say things that make me think they don't consider joining or even visiting Rotary for all the wrong reasons.
This article is about the things you don't need to join Rotary, and the things you do, just in case you are not sure. The other thing you should know is that we are a very friendly bunch of men and women and we have a lot of fun, as well as achieving some pretty good things in the community.
