Wendy Protheroe visits local club
We were delighted to welcome District Governor Wendy to the club breakfast meeting last Friday. Wendy has been very busy travelling to the far-flung clubs in her district and recently returned from PNG, where there has been a outbreak of Polio that Rotary has responded to.
Wendy also had some interesting stories of her adventures in the Arawa district with moonlight beach walks and evening cruises in very small boats, not to mention light aircraft flights through the PNG jungle !
Some of the induction ceremonies, involving exotic substances and face painting, not to mention the impromptu travel and meeting arrangements shed a new light on the activities of our District Governor.
Thank you Wendy for your visit and update on the District activities, it was great to hear of the good work that Rotary is doing in supporting the communities in PNG, and of course your club has recently supported the Nambour club project in helping the locals develop sustainable agriculture using native vegetables.
Your club has many connections with PNG, and Bob Lane seemed to be very familiar with the local pigeon English ..if I understood Bob correctly the description in pigeon of a helicopter roughly translates as "Holy Moly... a mix master in the sky!)
