3rd November Meeting - Ruth Namboya - Another Hope Children's Ministries

Chair
Darryl’s twin brother - obviously a better dresser than Darryl

International Toast
by Norm to RC Cairo, founded 1989, and the first english speaking club in Cairo, or maybe Egypt. There are four in the Club.  Norm had another 12 pages to go when he was rudely cut short due to time constraints.

Guests
Ruth & Daniel, Peter Davies, Peter Higgs, Trevor Gillingham
Darryl’s twin brother

Makeups
Selling Trifecta tickets, Bernie for setting up the Melbourne Cup function, and I think there was another one - maybe Merv at the Beerwah Hotel or something.

Apologies
Rudy, Alan, the Hanleys, Gordon, Graham, Heidi, Iain

President’s Address
President Judy welcomed our guests
and apparently “What goes on the Gold Coast stays on the Gold Coast”
DG’s visit next week so get those reports done


Next Monday - board meeting 5:30 at Darryl’s - all are welcome
Thanks everyone for selling the tickets
Welcome Gerry now “cured”
 
Wow! What a cute and cuddly doll - and the other one's from Uganda
 
Speaker
Deborah introduced Ruth & Daniel
Its been two years since Ruth visited our Club
Daniel gave a very complete account of Another Hope Children’s Ministery in Uganda including the current project involving supplying water tanks to local villagers
Darryl’s twin and Judy thanked Ruth and Daniel

Directors
Merv spoke about the up-coming Solomons trip.  And don’t bother searching for Sasamungga cause it’s “not on Google”

Gerry has BBQs galore for us, and the rosters for Thursday 12th and Sunday 15th were going round.  Must have kept going cause by Nov 5th they were apparently “lost in action” and the emails were flying thick and fast.
Darryl is trying out for a new job as an air traffic controller - I think they’ll need a special airport if Darryl’s in charge. 
Sergeant
So why are there only saucers in Australia?
NZ has all the cups
Ian has ditched the striped shirts big time after he was outed in the Blog, but this shirt nearly broke my camera lens.


Feeding frenzy

ROTARY’S POLIO CHALLENGE
Rotary International and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced an extension of their existing fundraising partnership that could generate up to US$525 million in new money for polio eradication as the global effort to end this crippling disease enters its critical endgame phase.
Under the new agreement, announced before an audience of more than 20,000 Rotary members from 160 countries gathered in Lisbon for the humanitarian group’s annual convention, the Gates Foundation will match 2 for 1 every new dollar Rotary commits to polio eradication up to $35 million per year through 2018!
