New President Judy got straight to work with the induction of Gordon Hamilton whose category shall be known as Sporting Goods Services.
 

Next was the transfer from RC Burleigh Heads was PDG Alan Still OAM whose category is Construction Services. 
Speaker
Mark introduced Lorelle who spoke of her achievements in getting aid to their previous home in Vanuatu after Cyclone Pam devastated the region.  Their daughter Olivia had spent her first six years there when they lived there as expatriots.
Their Facebook appeal netted $900 in the first week and $1800 in the second.
On visit one they were able to take 120kg stuff and on the second visit 267kg
 
In recognition of Lorelle’s behind the scenes Rotary work over many years, Judy presented Lorelle with the Paul Harris Fellowship which she should have received at the Changeover dinner.
Alf spoke about membership promotion

Directors
Judy noted that the goal for the year would be around mental health.  Our work with Men’s Shed has also been in that direction.
We need models for Hat Day.
Deborah will organise the Car Boot Sale, buts wants some assistance.  Roger can help with site planning & Council approval.
