Twenty five members were welcomed to our first meeting for the year. I trust you all had a relaxing Christmas/New Year break.
Our guests tonight were our speaker, David Roberts speaking about Angel Flight. Our other guest was Roauf El Kholy President of the Rotary Club of Tenth of Ramadan, Cairo, Egypt. Roauf has visited us before. Twenty six of us started the year with a nice lunch in the pleasant surroundings at Geranium Cottage. Janelle, Rosemary, Anne and I farewelled Larissa at the Airport along with three of her school friends, two exchange students from Northern Hemisphere and Feranda. There were tears and the obligatory departure photos. Larrisa sent us the following message.
