Rotary Youth Exchange Student Hilma Koskiniemi will join our meeting this Thursday April 10 - meeting invite below.
Hilma is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Narooma and currently staying with our member Sally Herder. Hilma is from Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle in Finland and will talk about her home country, community, and her time in Australia so far.
Hilma is pictured above with RC Narooma president Julie Hartley.
The board has agreed to donate $1000 to the Rotary District 9560 Disaster Fund to support Rotary's response to disastrous flooding in Western Queensland. It is thanks to all club members and supporters that we are able to make donations like this in times of need.
Individuals who wish to support the appeal should do so through a donation to Rotary International's disaster response fund, which is tax deductible in Australia. Districts 9560 & 9620 are working to release funding from both their internal fund and via Rotary International as soon as possible.
Response Needed: Rotary Alumni Contacts
The board has endorsed a program to offer associate membership for alumni of Rotary programs (and, where appropriate, their guardians) for a period of 12 months following their participation in our program. It is hoped that associate membership will demonstrate the benefits of Rotary and help these alumni and family members feel welcome at our club.
If you have the contact details of any alumni sponsored by the club since the beginning of 2024, please foward those details to Travis, on travis@travisholland.com.au, as soon as possible.
