        This last weekend has been a busy time
        district wise with two events in which the
        Mooloolaba Rotary Club was recognised.

        The  District  9620  Foundation  Dinner
        was  held  on  Saturday  night  and  the  Club
        was     presented      with     a     certificate
        recognising that it had donated $1000US to
        Polio Plus and we have become a member
        of the Polio Plus Society. Ten clubs in the
        district  achieved  the  award  but  only  five
        clubs  had  representatives  there  to  receive
        their awards.

        The  District  9620  AGM  was  held  on
        Sunday morning and ran according to plan
        with election of district officers as per the
        nominations.  The  District  Financials  were
        deferred  as  they  had  not  been  made
        available in time. It was also foreshadowed
        that  the  district  would  like  to  establish  a
        named  RI  fund  to  honour  the  late  Past
        Rotary     International     President     Glen
        Kinross OA from our district.
        The  special  meeting  will  be  held  on
                  th
        Sunday 8  December.
        After the AGM, the district was awarded the Australian Rotary Health Dick ‘White District
        Achievement Award’ by Australian Rotary Health Chair Stephen Humphreys. In presenting
        the award, Stephen acknowledged the significant contribution the district had made to ARH
        through  the  promotion  of  the  ‘Lift  The  Lid  Walk’  and  recognised  its  origins  from  the
        Mooloolaba Rotary Club and recognised Vicki Stewart as the founder of the walk.

         District Governor Sue invited me to join her on stage to receive the award in recognition of
        the contribution the Club had made. I was pleased that Vicki’s part in creating the walk was
        publically  recognised  but  I  would  like  to  also  acknowledge  the  time  and  effort  put  into
        making this a national event by Charles Godfrey. Thanks also to the club members who have
        contributed to the running of the walk over the last 9 years. Well done all!

        DG  Sue  suggested  that  I  take  the  trophy  back  to  show  the  Club.  It  will  be  on  display  at
        tonight’s meeting.
