Serving the Community since 1985

Presidents Report There we were enjoying our homage to all things French on Thursday night and the very next day we heard of the terrifying terrorist attack in Nice. Like many of you. Louise and I have visited Nice on a number of occasions and know precisely where the attack took place. This only adds to the impact such news has. Vive La France!

Thanks to all who presented at the Club Forum. Hopefully we all learnt something from it. The main point I would like to make is that, though we have a comprehensive list of activities planned, there will always be room for new ideas. If you can see a need in our community, then let us know so we can work together and see how we can address it.

We held our first board meeting for the year last week at which a number of decisions were made including:

• Annual budgets were confirmed;

• It was agreed to provide further support for Wes Flavell (this year’s NYSF student) to attend an international science conference in the UK;

• It will be a future requirement that an insurance review and risk assessment be undertaken for all significant projects.

Any member is free to attend a board meeting, held on the second Tuesday of the month at my place. But notice of your intent to attend would be appreciated.

Other news of the week is that the Sabu Solar Project team are now in a position to apply for both a District and Global grants, which if successful, will allow the project to proceed. Also the Community Garden project is moving forward and we could be asking members to be involved in some healthy outdoor activity very soon.

We will have extra copies of the District Directory availa-ble this week. Could any member who has not yet re-ceived one please let me know and I will get one to you.

Gareth Andrews, the founder of Life Again, an organiza-tion to support men during change, is our speaker this week. What is most interesting and perhaps relevant is that Gareth was 65 when he founded Life Again – clearly a case of “Retiring not Expiring”.

St. Stephen’s Community Garden

St. Stephen’s Commu-nity Garden is officially ready to go. The first sod was turned on Sun-day by Roger Prowd, Vicar at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church. Beaumaris Rotary, Brighton North Rotary, District 9810 and St. Stephen’s have supported this project from the start.

The Rotary Grants that we have received will enable us to get our Community Garden well underway. Thank you Rotary. I have a great committee including six local resi-dents, who bring along a range of skills, all ready to go, and excited about the future of the garden.

Now is the time for Beaumaris Rotarians to get your gum-boots and gardening gloves on, because I will be asking for your help at our first working bee to be held in the near future. If you have any garden tools or equipment that you no longer need and would like to donate to the St. Ste-phen’s Community Garden, they will be gratefully accept-ed. Contact Heather Chisholm.

While men chat on a perch in the Sa-rawat Mountains, sun rays create a dramatic sky over the valley below. Your Shot photographer Abdullrah-man Almalki says the view “[overlooks] the city of Mecca,” Islam’s holy city.
