FROM PRESIDENT IAN

Presidents Notes 26th February 2022
 
What a fantastic Thursday last, and a great turn out from all involved.
Congratulations to David Partis, his committee, the Urban Miners team, and our volunteers who made the evening a resounding success. For those visiting the Urban Miners facility for the first time, I’m sure you were suitably impressed with all the work that goes into the project.
For those inspired and wishing to volunteer, please contact David or Mark to register your interest.
 
Next week we are back to Cambridge High School, this for our first formal club meeting in March (how the time fly’s by). We have confirmation of several interesting speakers over the coming months, this along with other activities that will keep us us busy into July and beyond.
 
Can I personality thank everyone for your contribution to Rotary, our club members remain dedicated people who share a passion for both community service and friendship, you all continue to dedicate your time and talent to tackle regional and international challenges.
 
And that’s truly appreciated.
President Ian
