Bunnings Father’s Day Community Night – Thursday 31st August

Unfortunately we missed out on running the BBQ for this event but we were still able to have a Rotary presence. Linda Neale and I set up a small display to get our message out regarding the Rotary Programs of Polio Plus, Rotarians Against Malaria and Preventing Domestic Violence.
Martina Harris from Bunnings is to be congratulated on organising another successful community evening. There were many smiles to be seen on the faces of the children and the Dad’s.
Out of the Shadows Walk – World Suicide Prevention Day Sunday September 10
We have received an invitation/request to “Join Lifeline as we walk to remember and save lives”. Please refer to the article in this bulletin for all information and the links to register for this FREE event. Erika and have registered already – a very easy process. Once you have registered, send me a message (0414 840 910) or email (ikonbc.bt@gmail.com) and I’ll keep track of those involved.
I’m not sure where exactly the walk starts from so we will meet at 7.00 am at the White’s Beach playground near the corner of The Esplanade and Horseshoe Bend Road. If you are walking please try to wear some Rotary Branded clothing on to highlight our involvement.
Volunteers needed
- URGENT The first of the Cowrie Markets is on Sunday 17th September and the more volunteers we have the easier the day is on each of us.
- We have another Bunnings BBQ locked in for Saturday 30th September. Yes that is Grand Final day, unfortunately us Bomber and Cats fans no longer need worry about that.
Please let Richard Hawker know if you are available to help out with either of these and if you would prefer an AM or PM shift - phone 0407 610 414 or email rjhawker48@gmail.com.
Any time you have available will be a great help, so don’t hesitate to offer even if it is only for an hour two.
