Greetings fellow Rotarians! If you didn't get a chance to come to last week's meeting you missed another FANTASTIC night. Wonderful fellowship and just a great bunch of people coming together to help others.
What else could you ask for? Well, how about a visit from the Co-Founder & Head of Operations at Gilmour Space, James Gilmour? Such an interesting and exciting topic of conversation with question time almost taking up as much time as the talk itself. Who would have thought our club had so many space buffs!
Don't be disappointed and make sure you attend our next meeting on Thursday 18 March where we will have representatives from RizeUp and DV Connect, as well as THE big official Rotary Baton, joining us on the night also. This is a fabulous combination of celebrating 100yrs of Rotary in Australia and New Zealand, along with acknowledging and assisting with supporting victims of Domestic Violence, which just so happens to be the theme of the Baton in our District. Keep an eye out for the invite, so you can book a seat at what will surely be a very memorable and important event in the Rotary Calendar.
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
It is less than 2 weeks to this year's Gold Coast Ramble around Chevron Island, over the Green Bridge and around HOTA. This year we will be supporting RizeUp and partnering with the Chevron Island Business and Residents Association and 94.1FM radio.

The Ramble can best be described as a car rally / treasure hunt on foot (no running allowed), with teams of costumed participants exploring the parks, malls and streets of the Chevron Island, across the Green Bridge, around the HOTA Cultural Precinct and surrounding area, following clues to locate 25 to 30 checkpoints in 2 hours. At each checkpoint, the team use the Gold Coast Ramble App to receive a question to answer about the immediate area – this could relate to the heritage, the natural environment, street art or current infrastructure. What better way to discover and learn about the lesser-visited nooks and crannies of the City of Gold Coast? Teams are directed to places of historical interest, to cultural precincts and newer developments, highlighting local stories and the diversity of each of the communities explored.
