 President Andrea’s Bulletin Blurb 
 
Well, what a day on the Hotdog van. I’m sure it’s nearly a record, certainly felt like it. A big thanks to Jenny who had to bring in more supplies. Also thanks to John, Jess, Lynette and Tracey who worked hard to feed a very hungry crowd.
I was so pleased to see so much Pink at the change over.  Thank you for that. Also those awards, 4!, that’s an amazing effort, and just proves how well you are all working and the effort you are putting into making this the best Rotary Club in the district.
What’s in store for 2026/27. Remember those 5 questions I asked you to think about (Don’t worry they are here).
  • How do we keep the momentum going?
  • What is needed in our community?
  • Who do we help?
  • What more can we do?
  • Can we do more?
Think about these questions bring some thoughts along on Tuesday night. Let’s begin thinking about what we are going to do.
I’m looking forward to the discussion.
 
See you all Tuesday.
 
Andrea Lord - Club President

Editor's Humour
Did John forget what the Hot Dog Van looked like?
 
John decided the weather was too hot for Hot Dogs this weekend so brought the Mr Whippy van instead.
 
However, the Hot Dog Van will have more events, click the link to the left at any time to get the latest events it will be appearing at.
