Heart for Kids is a Sydney based organisation that serves children and families in rural
communities across India, Indonesia and China. The organisation has provided safe drinking
water to 60+ villages in northern India, offers afternoon education in five child development
centres, assisted in the adoption of 46 orphans, provided tailoring skills to women and led 65
hands-on-teams into India and China. Mooloolaba Rotary is unable to assist this
organisation, but individual members may wish to check their website and make a donation.

Our Club meetings for the following two Mondays will be held at different times that you
need to note.

Monday 23 March, Stephen Knight and a group of Queensland Emergency Services
volunteers will demonstrate CPR - a good reminder to our members. The demonstration will
commence at 5 pm and will be conducted for an hour. Members will be asked to order their
meals after the demonstration, and our meeting will start at approximately 7 pm. It would be
appreciated if members could make a gold coin donation on the night to assist in the costs
incurred by these volunteers.

Monday 30 March, is a vocational visit to the Sunshine Coast Events Centre (SCEC)
Minchinton Avenue, Caloundra.
SCEC is the premium venue on the Sunshine Coast for the Performing Arts, Concerts,
conventions and community and school activities such as Eisteddfods and Galas. It is wholly
owned by the Sunshine Coast Council but is run as an independent organisation with more
than 120 staff including volunteers. Malcolm has been a director since 2017.

We will be provided with a backstage tour and given an insight into what it takes to manage
and run such a cultural and community significant venue. The Tour commences at 3.30 pm
and continues until 5 pm approximately. Rotarians are invited to the Caloundra RSL for
dinner afterwards. Please register your attendance on our calendar.

Date claimers: Bunnings BBQ 20 March. No Club meeting 6 April.
