Greetings Fellow Rotarians! A big thank you to all those members and guests that attended our meeting last Thursday evening. It was a fantastic night of fellowship and inspiration from our two very special guest speakers, Adam Sheppard and Natasha Price aka Team InvincAble. What an amazing pair of human beings proving that no matter what life throws at you, there is always a dream to chase down and achieve. Some sad news came out on the night that due to the current situation we find ourselves in regarding COVID-19, border closures and changes in Council funding, we have had to make the very difficult decision to cancel this year's Botanical Bazaar Event. But out of this comes something very positive; we are looking to expand this event over 2 days next year, making it bigger and better than ever! A HUGE thank you to all those members who have worked tirelessly preparing for this event, which has paved the way for the success of the event in 2021. Without the hard work and countless hours put in by you for this event, none of this could be possible. We definitely find ourselves in a different time at present, a lot of uncertainty particularly regarding holding events, which is a major contributor to how our club raises funds to help those in need. Keep reading below to find out how you can help make a difference and initiate change to help keep us moving forward. Our next club meeting is at the Southport Golf Club on Thursday 03 September where we will catch up with the students from Griffith University who are currently receiving financial assistance through the two Scholarships funded by our Club. This is always a special occasion so make sure you don't miss it. Until next time, please take care and if you need anything at all please feel free to contact me via phone on 0433 069 174 or email melissaneilsen1979@gmail.com
