No meeting this Friday – Good Friday

New corporate members – Vicky and Renee
The induction of new members is always a special occasion in any Rotary Club and on Friday the club had the pleasure of inducting two new members, Vicky Meyer and Renee Ricketts. Both ladies work for IFYS and their professional skills will greatly enhance our club in maintaining and providing community service.
White Ribbon Speaker – Supt. Darryl Johnson
In addition our guest speaker was Superintendent Darryl Johnson. Darryl is in charge of the Sunshine Coast Regional Police Department and gave an interesting presentation on policing on the coast and in particular the rise of domestic violence in the area. As the official White Ribbon Embassador for the coast Darryl is particularly involved with the alarming incidence of domestic violence. Alexandra Headlands Rotary Club’s Solstice Swim in July this year will be held in support of the White Ribbon Association on the Sunshine Coast.
The mystery of the Padlocks
So our club container is missing a few padlocks, can everyone (especially the oldies and blondes) check their pockets for a couple of brass padlocks??
The Garden Project – Last Working Bee – Saturday 27thApril
We had some great news during the week from the community Gambling fund, and are now in a position to finish off the garden with some help from volunteers (ie You) on Saturday 27th April morning at Landsborough.
We’ll be doing some garden weeding, some layong of mulch, assembly of raised garden beds, some planting, some demolition, and hopefully some coffee and cake.
The final work of deck and teenage retreat is too large a construction for us to take on, so we’re organising some contractors to help out.
A very special thanks to our very own Scott Brimelow from Structures, who engineered the deck and helped with the drawings. Scott has been a great supporter of the club for many years, and we much appreciate his continued support.
Club evening event taking shape
It won’t be long now before our evening at the SLSC to promote Rotary Club membership. Here’s the flyer. More details to come..
Please keep the evening free for some socialising and some interesting speakers.
