MINUTES OF MEETING OF 7TH JANUARY
The President welcomed 15 members plus guests back for the New Year. Members noted the excellent renovations to the meeting room - glass doors and a new deck. Guests were the after-dinner speaker Barry Smith and a past Rotarian (Atherton) and now Maleny local Phillip Stark.
Directors to report included Chris B with a call for volunteers for parking at the Australia Day Expo. Jeff mentioned that a shelter box was available for display at this Expo.
Angela queried progress on the 'time capsule' project and Chris briefed the meeting on the RSL plans to re-do the cenotaph with a new wall. The capsule will go in the wall but the question is "who holds the key?"
Jim thanked members for their effort at the Christmas Street Carnival and mentioned some of the difficulties that the organisers have in running the event (at a profit).
Donna received a round of applause from the members for her great effort with 'Rudolph'. He was the star of the church display but is now banished to the McLennan's shed. What is to become of him?
Alan mentioned that 25 computers and 25 boxes of books were on their way to Popondetta, PNG courtesy of Alan, Nundah Rotary and DIK - well done.
Donna suggested the Club look at producing a 'green shopping bag' promoting Rotary and local businesses. A great suggestion to be followed up at Board level.
Sergeant Chris ripped a few dollars off members with the usual mix of a bit of truth and a lot of 'bull'. Bill won heads & tails.
Rick V introduced the guest speaker Barry Smith to talk local art activities and specifically 'art4place'. Barry is a local metalsmith working mainly in silver. He spoke briefly on his personal background and his art emphasising his desire to reflect peace, quietness, trees, leaves etc in his metal work and other projects. Quoting from the Art4place flyer shows that it is a not for profit "community enterprise dedicated to the the promotion, design, development, coordination and management of community and place making art in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland....". Established in 2009 with over 30 artists on its register. Art4place is managed by a small management committee under the 'umbrella' of the Hinterland Business Centre. Art4place is one of several art groups/outlets in the area. Others include COMA, Piece of Green, Maleny Printmakers, arts Connection, Pop up Gallery etc.
Barry finished his excellent talk with some suggestions on how Rotary could get involved with art4place.
