Yeah!!! We had our first Face to Face meeting on Monday and the buzz in the room was amazing! Everyone was so happy to be meeting again even with Covid restrictions. It only took 9 months!! We welcomed Ross and Helen Ballinger, Tom Westcott and Annette, Ros Hogan, Bob Whyms and Jason Terry plus 10 partners.
Both Ross and Tom were made honorary members of our club – a well-deserved recognition. Steve Wagner informed us of his work in the National Parks and Wildlife particularly in the Sydney region. The sad facts and figures from last summer’s bush fires will be with us for a while. Douglas pleaded for people to respond to emails and I concur with him. If an email is sent, please respond either with a yay or a nay. It is common manners. Please remember the Trees of Joy in Cherrybrook Village and Westleigh Village and thanks to all those who are collecting gifts. Our next face to face meeting is our annual Youth night. It is promising to be a great night with 20 guests so far! Katherine, our Youth Exchange student, has returned from Austria and we look forward to hearing of her exploits. We will also have an opportunity to meet some members of the Provisional Rotaract club of Pennant Hills – Cherrybrook as well as out RYPEN student. Our Christmas meeting is on Monday 14 December so please let Tony Cote know if you will attend. We need numbers before we can commit to this fun event. Next week 23 November will be our usual Zoom meeting at 7:30pm. Until then, stay safe, stay healthy and enjoy the lead up to Christmas. Rosemary |
