The highlight of the week was definitely the Lift the Lid launch on Monday night. The invite
said cocktail wear and many of the members and their partners made a special effort and
looked fabulous - the most dapper IMHO was George Fraser who turned up in a dinner suit
with Denise on his arm looking like a million dollars. Well done George & Denise!! I think
dressing up made it a special night which of course it was. Unfortunately I had to come in

my usual clobber, I do have a dinner suit but like most of the other clothes in my wardrobe it
somehow shrunk and I wasn't able to get into it.
I stood my last watch on Friday afternoon as a Coastguard volunteer, the flotilla transitions
to Marine Rescue Queensland next Tuesday so on my first watch next week I'll be wearing a
different uniform and using totally new software which should be fun - not !!! I've got my
fingers crossed the weather won't be so good and thus keep a lot of the boaters at home,
apologies to the holiday makers.

Sunday afternoon I've put my name down to help Alex Rotary tear down the marques etc at
their Surf Show & Shine event. They help us out at our events, including the LTL walk so
it's only fair I think that we should help them - there's a calendar event you can use to register
and I encourage you to do so. It's from 3pm to 5:30pm at Mooloolaba State School.

Don't forget we've got Sgt Sarah Brough coming on Monday night to talk to us about Road
Safety - a subject close to my heart. She gave an excellent talk last time and I'm sure this one
will be good as well - see you there !!

Next Club Meeting

The next Club meeting 28 Sep 2026

Our next club meeting will be held at the Mooloolaba Bowls Club. The guest speaker will be
A/Sgt Sarah Brough from the Sunshine Coast District Crime Prevention Unit who will be
talking on Road safety.

She's back - and this is one you won't want to miss! The wonderfully enthusiastic A/Sgt
Sarah Brough from the Sunshine Coast District Crime Prevention Unit is returning to
Mooloolaba Rotary, this time to talk all things ROAD SAFETY. Sarah has a terrific way of
turning an important subject into a lively, practical and genuinely engaging conversation.
Expect real-world insights, useful tips, a few eye-opening reminders and plenty to think
about next time you get behind the wheel. Whether you've been driving for five years or
fifty, there will be something in this for all of us. ?? Bring your questions, bring your partner
- and buckle up for a great Rotary night!
