A big thank you to PP PHF Marcus Adams who stood in for President Sangeeta who was unwell.
Marcus welcomed Myra and her support team from Emerald Secondary College, plus her brother Toby, Father Greg and mum Mira. Myra shared her reflections on her recent Youth Sailing Challenge experience, which involved a 4-day sailing challenge. Myra told us all about how she navigated the shared confines with fellow students. Myra's adventure was sponsored by various Rotary Clubs.
Bob Allardice from Nunawading Rotary Club attended the meeting to share his experiences working to re-purpose recycled playgrounds.
Some other news from the meeting:
- Our fellow Rotarian, Adam, has donated a workplace first aid kit following on from the the incident with Tom.
- May is Youth Service month in Rotary. Youth Service is the greatest role in the club and we have been delighted to start EarlyAct. Last Friday (3/5) we launched the EarlyAct Club at Emerald Primary School with 23 grade 5 and 6’s joining. The launch was attended by Paula, Kerith, Sangeeta, Emma and Marcus - all dressed in their Rotary gear.
- Last Saturday night was the Monash Children’s Hospital SHINE GALA Dinner, held at the Crown Palladium. Funds exceeding $1.1m were raised, and 10 of our fabulous Rotarians attended what was a great evening.
