MINUTES OF MEETING OF 7th AUGUST
18 members enjoyed a convivial evening with an early finish.
After the usual opening formalities, Andy Schouteten briefed the meeting on his evening at the Rotary Club of Brunssum-Onderbanken in Holland. Their meeting started with a walk in the forest and then an outdoor meeting at 9:30 in the evening - only in summertime!
Andy presented the Maleny Club with a pennant from the Dutch club and proposed a " toast to the Rotary Club of Brunssum-Onderbanken".
Chris B introduced Carl Jonsson (2013 NYSF student) and his father who came to have Rotary draw the winning tickets for their raffle raising money to send Carl to South Africa for an international science forum.
President Ric briefed the meeting on his current and future activities, including a meeting with other District Presidents and the District Governor.
Brian A. passed around a copy of the 2014 calendar and advised that they would be on general sale from early September.
Lionel T. requested some assistance at Maple 3 on Monday 2nd September to hang the calendar photo competition entries.
Deb L. advised of Interact activities including a sausage sizzle at Bunnings, a raffle draw on 2nd September, a pie drive in September and the RYPEN camp on 2-8 September.
Chris B. is looking for volunteers for Bike Ed next week and to man the entry gate at the Slow Food Festival on 7th & 8th September - yes it is Election Day!
Rick V. briefed the meeting on Mary Cairncross issues and his work with the Maleny Community Centre and the District Disaster Plan.
The new Sergeant Paul F. extracted considerable funds from unprepared members by asking general knowledge questions, some easy but others obscure! Deb L won the 'heads & tails'.
In the absence of our guest speaker, members who had travelled recently were asked to give a brief overview of their wanderings. Jeff C in France & Scotland, Rick V with the military exercise Talisman Sabre in Central Queensland, and Andy S a 33 day Mediterranean cruise plus time in Istanbul, the Barcelona area
and Holland. Paul F visited his former home town Mudgee and found it too cold.
Rick V entertained with a tale of briefing some young and naive American soldiers on the safety risks in the Shoalwater Bay Area - the briefing covered crocodiles, snakes, sharks, spiders, mosquitoes and most importantly 'drop bears'! The live firings and bombing did not phase them but 'drop bears'!
The meeting closed at 8.15.
