MINUTES OF MEETING OF 7TH MAY
Paulette spoke of the RUSCCF annual dinner at Caloundra Golf Club on Thursday 29th May for $33 per person. She also mentioned RYDA and that it’s on in late July for Maleny State High School and Flexi School. We will need at least 4 volunteers for that day. Also, the mock job interviews at MSHS are on again this year from Monday 23 June until Wednesday 25 inclusive. Paulette will send an e-mail out shortly for people to register their interest.
Scott had asked Paulette to organise the Changeover Dinner for this year. She asked if we were happy with Brouhaha. Jim A raised the issue of getting a microphone so that everyone can hear the speakers. Brouhaha was supported by just about everyone, so we have resolved to have our dinner there.
Paulette thanked Craig S, in absentia, for organising a very successful dinner at the Thai restaurant in Landsborough. Great food and great night.
Paulette also gave a brief update on Greg W’s health and advised that he was intending to visit Maleny this weekend.
Paulette called on James McC to give an update on the defibrillators in Maleny. James gave an update and advised that signage would be going up around town to raise awareness of their availability.
Paulette reviewed the activities and had status updates from Sherryl G. on SUN, Roly N. on Maleny Show and Lionel T. on Calendars. Paulette then called on Su C. to introduce the Young Ladies from Interact.
INTERACT
Su C. introduced the members of Interact that were our guests on the evening, Hannah Leach (Treasurer), Jik Brinkman (Secretary) and Charlotte Kay (Vice-President). Resplendent in the new Interact Red T-shirts they began the presentation on Interact and the great progress being made. There are 26 members of Maleny High’s student body that are now in Interact. A great result with more growth on the horizon. The ladies all spoke of their membership and goals and thanked Maleny Rotary for the ongoing support the Interact receives. They were accompanied by Fran T also wearing the red Interact T-shirt.
Rick V., also a member of Woodies, spoke of the positive response members of Interact had received from Woodies, facilitated by Rotary, and was given an Interact Thank You Certificate for Maleny Rotary in recognition of the support received.
P Scott presented two of the Interactors with Club Platypus bags to thank them for their presentation.
Waste Action Mangement
Bruce K acted as DO and ADO and introduced our guests from WAM (Waste Action Maleny), a non-profit community group focused on developing and supporting a range of initiatives to inform and empower local people to find local solutions to the global problem of waste. Jenni Harmony and Ernie Marcum did a great presentation on the goals and work of WAM. They outlined some of the statistics accompanying human activity and the impacts waste has on our environment and our futures. They also went through waste management options for individuals and issued “The WAM Guide” to everyone. The WAM Guide outlines the options available for safe waste management and for recycling. A comprehensive work, it specifically details options for 26 classes of products and materials and their recycling or disposal. The presentation was very well received.
Bruce K gave the vote of thanks.
That presentation ending, Paulette called the meeting closed.
