Reports and notes from the Board
This year the Board voted to keep supporting the Kings Meadows High School and the Youngtown Primary School with end of year donations for prizes. Also the Bill Tann award will go to a Croagh Patrick student at St Patricks College again.
The club will contribute for two mentors to go on the Windeward Bound Youth Leadership Challenge.
President Chris and wife Pat and Ian Smith and wife Sue attended the Spurr Wing Annual General Meeting Sadly the Tamar Apex Club has folded so Room 3 will now be cared for by the Men’s Shed.
Past club exchange student and Rotaract member Chloe McCann will attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Madrid. This will be a wonderful experience for Chloe and we wish her well. The Club has contributed to her costs for the trip.

President Chris reminded everyone about the Queenstown weekend and District Annual General Meeting on 23rd and 24th of November. The club’s proxy will be AG Brett Williams.
The Rotary Adventure in Citizenship (RAIC) program is looking for participants to go to Canberra in May next year. This is aimed at year 11 students, particularly those who may be interested in politics. For a week the delegates are immersed behind the scenes in Parliament House. They view Parliament in action, including the budget speech and question time. They also meet their federal members of parliament and press gallery journalists. One of the highlights is having morning tea with the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. It’s a wonderful opportunity and if anyone would like to put forward the name of a student please contact the club President or Secretary. Contact details are above.
