        The  founding  of  Rotary  International  in  1905  by  Paul  P  Harris  on  the  23   February  was
        celebrated at our Club with a toast proposed by Kevan Dacey. Membership of International
        Rotary now stands at 1.4 million across the world.

        RAWCS/Rotary  Australia  Repurposing  Equipment  since  1990  have  sent  1,162  containers
        with donations worth $66.8 million to countries such as Papua New Guinea (769 containers),
        Solomon  Islands  (168  containers),  Fiji,  Tonga,  Samoa,  Vanuatu,  Timor  Leste.  Donations
        commonly consist of hospital beds, mattresses, linen and medical supplies, patient trolleys
        and wheelchairs, school desks and books.

        Our guest speaker on Monday night was Mike Loftus the President of the Sunshine Coast
        U3A,  which  offers  130  different  courses  and  activities.  Australia  wide,  U3A  has  25,000
        members with 2,200 members on the Sunshine Coast. Even though the organisation does not
        participate  in  fund  raising  or  donating  to  charities,  values  are  similar  to  ours  and  contact
        would be worth maintaining.

        The response to our new Club dinner arrangements was very positive and so we will continue
        with the arrangement. At 6 pm members and guests check in at the front desk, select their
        table and order meals at the bar. The Club meeting will commence at 6.50 pm and the guest
        speaker will present at 7.30 pm.
