PRESIDENT'S NOTES
It has been a very wet past few weeks in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. I hope that all members and their families have remained safe on our roads and missed every or as many potholes as possible. Our next meeting is a General Meeting and we can look forward to a very interesting presentation from Jodie Nolan, Manager of the Maleny branch of Queensland Country Bank, together with some fine good hearted Rotary fellowship with Jodie and our other club guests.
The Friday Gate: Another huge thank you to Jim A and all his volunteers for their challenging efforts to overcome some early teething problems with the new entry system and to go on during the day to manage a record Friday gate takings for the Maleny Agricultural Show. (PS. I still have my orange vest and will return it at the meeting)
I also extend a huge thank you to Maleny Show Society President Winston Johnston and his tireless volunteers for making all the right decisions and ground preparations so that the Show could go on, despite several preceding weeks of torrential rain .
And for all our nature lovers, I captured the kind gesture by Sherryl and Mike G who brought their neighbour Jill Morris’s favourite kookaburra to the show for a feed. Hope he could find his way home.
Your Rotary Ticket to Good Health.
Another reminder that its time to get your Rotary Ticket to Good Health. Many thanks to John Lehane (Toowoomba) and Tony Wills (Capalaba) for joining me on the Roarty Bowelscan Qld Stand at the Show to promote bowel cancer awareness, the number 2 cancer killer in Australia together with the complimentary nature of our Test Kit program with the free Commonwealth test kit program distributed every 2 years to residents aged over 50 to 74. We sold several kits at the Show on consignment to us from our local Maleny Star Discount Chemist, where the Rotary Bowelscan Queensland test Kits are now available for purchase for $22.
