Number 2 exchange student becomes Number 1!

Our great Japanese exchange student, Kazushi, is all on his own now that Marko has gone back to Brazil. This weekend he excelled himself with 7 hours at the Australia Day BBQ followed by a trip with Barry to the airport to empty the charity boxes in Terminal 3.

Monday’s Speaker - Simon Cowie – The Heart Foundation

The Heart Foundation has been the trusted peak body working to improve heart disease prevention, detection, and support for all Australians.

Whilst our work has had a major impact on the survival rates of those suffering a heart attack and those living with heart disease, we will not be satisfied until it is completely eradicated. Coronary heart disease is still Australia’s number one killer, taking 50 lives every day.

To help us realise our vision of an Australia free of heart disease along with the teamwork and passion of our supporters and generosity of millions of Australians act to make a difference in the fight against heart disease by:
  • Funding high-impact research, supporting emerging and leading heart health researchers
  • Working to improve heart disease prevention, detection, care and support for all Australians
  • Advocating to governments and industry for increased funding and resources for heart health
  • Building community awareness about living a heart-healthy lifestyle. We do this through public health awareness campaigns, accessible information and resources
  • Supporting health professionals in their work to prevent, diagnose, treat and manage heart disease.

Australia Day BBQ

A super day down at Balmoral with Ross and Derek reserving a space next to the wishing well at 5.00am and President James organising a van to bring equipment from the store at 7.00am. With new member John at the BBQ and numerous members at the counter and doing essential backup work we achieved a turnover of over $5000. More importantly we provided a much appreciated service for the community.
Below is a message from President James:-

What a super effort from the Volunteer Team at Balmoral today.
An unbelievable result and certainly demonstrates the generosity of our community.

Well done Ross up before dawn to hold our spot near the Wishing Well

Praise is deserved for all, yet I must highlight the grand effort by PP Barry and the huge sausage turning support by not quite Rotarian John Gessler. John even had Helen come down and join in the fun!

Thank you to all ..

Clean Up Australia - March 3rd - Chinaman's Beach and Rosherville Reserve

PP Clare will be Site Superviser at Chinaman's Beach and Rosherville Reserve from 10-12 on March 3rd. She has the following message to members:

As in past years, I’ve created a Clean Up Australia Day at Chinaman’s Beach and Rosherville Reserve.

It’s from 10 am to 12 pm on March 3rd. I need help setting beforehand under a large tree near the toilet block so we’d have to get there by 9:30.


I need someone who is willing to help me take things out of my car and set up.


Also, to take things back to the car afterwards.

Seymour Major did this for years, but I don’t think he’s up to it now.

Hopefully I can get everything into the back of my car by myself.

When I get to Rosherville Reserve carpark, I’ll need help taking a folding table, folding chairs, boxes of huge bags for different kinds of rubbish, syringe containers, gloves, clipboards, pens, signs, etc.

If someone from the Club can do this, then I can discuss with them how and when we get there and where to park, etc.

If they give me their licence plate details, I can get them a parking permit for more than 2 hours.

If anyone wishes to register, they can do so using: https://register.cleanup.org.au/s/3691/81287

or just contacting me.

Thanks,
Clare
