We had a smaller meeting with apologies from Shiva Nandan, Tissa Perera, Frans Buskermolen, Rinna Ly and Peter Beadle.
Alvan Freeman presented President Charles with a new “Donger” on behalf of the Liverpool District Men’s Shed – an essential tool with which to strike the bell to bring a meeting to order.
Jim Rudling advised that he had been in contact with Jan Colmer, Rotary Club of Narromine to start planning for our trip to the District. Jan hopes to be in a position in the next fortnight to confirm whether the Mungery Picnic Races will be going ahead this year and if their Club feels it would be appropriate for our Club to visit in the current COVID-19 situation.
Gary Halliday confirmed that our Club has nominated Thuy Ann Nguyen a local student from Fairfield to attend the National Youth Science Forum in January 2021 – if she is successful in her application the Rotary Clubs of Liverpool West and Padstow will provide financial support and it is hoped that the other Liverpool Clubs may also provide support.

Future Community / School Project
As a Club we will be looking to have a Community Project in 2020/1
Our last major project was the Tranquility Garden as Braeside Hospital some years back. We have had several suggestions including the provision of shade or soft fall equipment at a local school - if members have any ideas please talk with either Community Service Director Tissa Perera or Youth Service Director Shiva Nandan.
We also plan to apply for a Grant from Rotary District 9675 to assist in financing.
Our (Financial) Members only raffle jackpot will be $110!
The wine we offer for prizes has been aging gracefully and our supply of exciting chocolates and mystery prizes are just waiting to be won.
