Welcome to a new year, which is off to a smashing start. If you didn't get to attend our meeting last Thursday, you missed a very special evening with Sallyanne Atkinson. Sallyanne was the first female Lord Mayor of Brisbane, former Senior Trade Commissioner to Paris, former Special Representative for Queensland in South East Asia, and now a guest speaker at Gold Coast Rotary.
What a fantastic night enjoyed by everyone. If you have an idea for a guest speaker please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss and arrange at any time.
Our next club meeting is at the Southport Golf Club on Thursday 04 February, which is sure to be another night of giving back to the Community and Fellowship.
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
The year has already gotten off to a great start with our first Guest Speaker last week, Sallyanne Atkinson.

It is less than 4 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.
When liquid splashes on me, none seeps through. When I am moved a lot, liquid I spew. When I am hit, colour I change, and colours I come in quite a range. What I cover is quite complicated, yet I am elementary to flex. What am I?
I move very slowly at an imperceptible rate, although I take my time, I am never late. I accompany life and survive past demise; I am viewed with esteem in many women's eyes. What am I?
A window cleaner is cleaning a window on the 25th floor of a skyscraper when, suddenly, he slips and falls. He has no safety equipment and nothing to soften his fall, and yet he is not hurt. How can this be?
