Reel 17/9/13

As our Tranquility garden Handover had to be postponed due to the dreaded Noro virus, we all met at at Oaks and enjoyed fellowship and a general update on our activities.

There were no guests or visiting Rotarians.
Apologies from Merv, Pam & Jan
Makeups from Ron & Helen

International toast to Rotary Club of San Fransisco,
apparently  a very gay club of 176 members meeting at the Back Door Cafe.

Deborah spoke about the Casablanca at Caloundra function in mid December that we are going to run with Cal Pac - should be lots of scope to work to that theme - Rick's Cafe etc, all in a hangar at Caloundra Aerodrome.

The list went round for volunteers at the Fringe Festival BBQ at Kings Beach on Friday 27th Sept, set up at 8:30am, then 9:00-1:00 and 1:00-5:00 shifts.

Our trailer now resides in the Salvation Army shed thanks to Stuart. Alan put out a call for shelving.

Julie rang from Caloundra State High School - site for the garage has been selected, the Education Dept will do the slab, and Gateway will organize the construction. Watch this space.

Pauline put out an invitation to her birthday party on 19th Oct.
Bad news is that it's in Melbourne - wlll, you never know.

Shock announcement by Noel that he has turned "nice"
- but turns out he is just looking for victims, sorry volunteers, to sell Melbourne Cup Sweep tickets.
I'm sure he will go back to his old ways once the we are all booked in.

Genta gave a run down on the Gizo project.  We cannot team with Gizo for a grant as we are the same district - Maybe Komaki to the rescue.

Planning has started for a visit to Japan in Cherry blossum season next March/April.

Sgt Gerry gave us a lot of fines as usual.

Fees are due, $240 to 633-000 130984073 tag with dues & surname.

That's all
Cheers
Roger
