So, if you are going to be absent from meetings and events in the months up until July next year, please notify Janelle via email.
Equally now that we are back to face-to-face meetings at Springfield it’s important that we get back into the swing of advising Frank of numbers attending by the Thursday prior to Monday meetings.

President Keith's Report 14 December 2021
|
I believe the Kris Kringle meeting was one of excellent, amazing, or fabulous. I thoroughly enjoyed the night. We had just finished our sumptuous meal, when Santa and Elf arrived to distribute presents.
Many thanks to all that contributed to making this a wonderful event. The year has ended on a high. Covid19 impacted on the start of the year, with yet another Changeover via Zoom. The last two months have generated fellowship through Mini-Book Sale, a couple of Bunnings BBQ, several Friendship Dinners, and a car run. It is possible we have held the best ever Tree of Joy event. I am off to David’s tonight to complete another Santa’s Workshop. We start the new year with President's Lunch at Vanilla Cream Café, Amaroo. This event is on Saturday, 22nd January. I appreciate a lot of the Members will travel to see family and kin. However, if you are at home please consider attending. I wish all Members and Partners a wonderful break. I hope you enjoy this break regardless of what you pursue. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Keith |

Night Report - 14 December 2021
Tonight was our special Xmas meeting for 2021. We were greeted with bubbles and delicious hors d’ouvres. Sergeant Max opened the meeting at 7:10, followed by a toast from Colin McGowan “to Christmas and those people hoping to visit family and friends”. Then Pres. Keith was introduced.
Pres. Keith welcomed all the partners by name, and announced that he had finally figured out how to use the microphone so he could be heard (Ed: and in the far corner I could hear OK!). He commented that we had a special guest on his way to arrive later providing so many presents that he has a helper
The Tree of Joy at David’s Mon night was excellent.
The first 6 months of the Rotary year was seriously impacted by Covid, with less Fundraising. Hopefully the second 6months will be better.
David reported that the Centurion funds ($1,600) were sent to District today, the donors will receive receipts soon.
We had a good turnout for Tree of Joy wrapping, we did 754 presents plus others. (Ed: latest count around 1100 presents in total).
Big thanks to Bernard for collecting pressies, and to Jill for putting up with the house in disarray, and all those who helped.
Carol advised that an article will be written featuring board members. Write a bit of info and forward to Carol.
Max advised Bunnings BBQ on Sunday grossed $831, and netted $601 after costs. Thanks to Kerry, Ros, David, Rob Clarke, Doug, George, Keith and Edwina.
Socks are on sale tonight at a discount price of $5 (normally $6). (Ed: we sold $90 worth on the night)
SYMT (Sydney Youth Musical Theatre) is showing The Addams Family on 28Jan 2022. Cost $37 concession. Let Max know if interested.
Peter advised he has the latest newsletter from Indonesia, and the summary of activities is impressive. It will be posted in the bulletin.
Cawas commented on one of the gift tags for Tree of Joy, asking for school pants. Many children are doing it tough this Christmas.
Rosemary advised that Youth has been active.
Colin Sharpe
Pres. Keith advised that Paul is leaving the Club due to other commitments. Paul gave a big thanks to the Club for welcoming him as a member. His Daughter, Anna, went on exchange (RYEP) to Japan in 2017/2018. Paul thanked the Club for sponsoring her (this is was created Paul’s interest in joining). Peter thanked Paul for the trip to Indonesia (stop over in Bali) which is the first time he has been in Asia. He wished Paul the best for the future.
Jim advised that Anna has had surgery, she is in pain but also good spirits.
Then the special guests arrived, Santa (AKA Peter) and his helper (AKA Janelle). They spread good cheer as they entered and proceeded to give presents. One of the first on Santa’s knee was Gino (well, not exactly on his knee… a chair was provided). All the presents were handed out except for two. Santa decided to give one to his helper, and kept one himself. Presents well deserved!
Sgt Max decided that instead of two-up or a fine session, he would do multiple choice Xmas trivia. The questions weren’t particularly hard, and the last standing were Cawas and Rashna, both knocked out on the final question. So they were given the prize to share. And the raffle was won by Julianne.
Pres Keith advised the next event is President lunch at Vanilla Bean Café on 22Jan 2022 (details to be advised). “Drive safely”.
Unfortunately Pres Keith forgot how to use the mic…. I had trouble following what he said towards the end. Good thing he provided a run sheet 😊
Bob Davison
NB: An error transpired in the 29/11 Night Report that Peter Stanton has volunteered for the position of Development Officer. Ed.

Colin Sharpe

Welfare Report
Alan Paynter was admitted to the SAN for treatment for diverticulitis last week. However, while performing the necessary procedure it was discovered he had the early stages of bowel cancer. Alan was released from the SAN on Friday and will be returning early next year for treatment for the cancer. Both he and the surgeon are very positive regarding a successful outcome as it has been discovered quite early.
Anna Vass had major back surgery Tuesday the 7th, with the operation lasting 5 hours. She is back at home now and will be commencing rehab at Mt Wilga shortly. Anna is taking pain killers and advised the pain is quite severe once the effect of the tablets has worn off, but she is coping quite well. Anna had the option to remain in hospital but decided to go home as she can manage her recovery just as well there, provided she takes her medication and doesn’t undertake any strenuous activity.
The best wishes of all club members is extended to both Alan and Anna.

We thank the following people for staffing the barbeque last Sunday
Kerry, Ros, David, Rob Clarke, Douglas, Keith, George, Edwina and Max. Compared to the previous one ($679) there was a significant improvement in revenue, which can in part be attributed to COVID restrictions being reduced providing a return in confidence and the lead in to Christmas. Our results were:

Street Libraries Update
You may have noticed that street libraries are springing up in peoples’ gardens, especially if you have been doing a lot of walking as we have during the lockdown. It seems that the Board noticed too. They decided that it would be nice to have one, two, three - make it four at various locations.
A suitable design was sourced – like the one at the end of New Line Road but taller to accommodate a shelf.
Cawas provided some marine ply courtesy of mates’ rates at Bunnings and I went to Bunnings and Mitre10 about a dozen times to purchase the other bits.
So with the help of Peter and Tony we assembled the structures, I painted them and Colin Sharpe provided some polycarbonate for the windows. It took a while but they came together well.
Now we needed a post to fix them to. Bunnings had some woofy posts designed for post boxes but Mitre10 came up with galvanised beasts suitable as a foundation for a tower block.
An erection team was organised of David, George, Keith, Bob and me and we burst into action like a well oiled machine – well actually more like a council work gang with one person doing all the work and rest watching. We decided that Bev’s place was a good place to start since it is a relatively quiet street.
Bob came up with a crowbar the size of a tooth pick and we set about digging a hole in the incredibly hard ground. At about 400mm we decided to stop before we encountered a 33kV cable and set up the post in lots of rapid setting concrete.
Bev provided an excellent morning tea while we waited for the concrete to go hard.
Finally we lugged the box into place and bolted it down.
The only thing missing is the Rotary sign. This has been ordered and will be fixed later. It is large enough for the Amazon astronauts to read it on their next trip.
Colin Sharpe did a nice job of fixing his to his letter box and even painted the inside (they had already had two coats of lacquer but the paint is a nice touch and we fully expect Anne to install curtains).
Next week the council work gang is reassembling to install Carol’s library.
Thanks to the team and thanks to Bev, Carol and Colin Sharpe for providing the locations. The fourth will be fixed at the Uniting Church when Neville returns from wherever he is this week.

Dear Peter and the Rotary Club of West Pennant Hills and Cherrybrook
Many thanks for your support for the NTA. Your donation helps to make a big difference to the lives of poor farming communities living in south east Indonesia.
The last 2 years have been particularly challenging for everyone. While it has been tough for our recipient communities we can take stock in the things we have been able to achieve:
- We have just celebrated our 30th birthday. We have been successfully implementing programs in Indonesia for 3 decades.
- Our COVID and cyclone appeals have been our most successful appeals ever, raising collectively some $25 000. This has allowed us to quickly and easily roll out COVID messaging and prevention measures including hand washing stations, soap, posters and banners into all of our schools and communities. We are currently working with communities and local governments to help NTA supported schools severely impacted by the Cyclone Sejora to bounce back to full capacity.
- We held our most successful fund raising dinner ever with 122 attendees and we raised $8000.
- Our peak partner, NTA Indonesia, has shown great capacity and resourcefulness to maintain our activities around the COVID restrictions and while NTA is unable to visit Indonesia.
- Our new program to promote traditional ikat weaving continues to expand and to attract high interest. This is aimed directly at improving livelihoods for women. We provide sewing machines and run training to diversify products, and improve quality and marketing.
- Our management systems continue to improve through the development of our computerised database systems. NTA Indonesia now uses tablets to record activity progress and photographs and to record answers to questions. This information is uploaded to the cloud providing real time information flow to NTA in Australia.
- We work to continuously improve our efforts to protect vulnerable people and to focus greater effort on those in need. We have developed improved systems and are providing training and guidance to our Indonesian counterparts.
- COVID has re energised and accelerated our efforts in health and sanitation. These are preventative measures not just for COVID but also for a host of other diseases and health issues prevalent in the region.
- WE will report our efforts for 2020-21 in our annual report which should be available in December.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like any further information or clarification.
Once again many thanks for your support
Regards
Phil

“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

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.
