This Monday our guest speaker is our Mayor Vic Pennisi. Please bring a guest along and let Julie Beddow (0428 178 618) know if you are not coming or bringing a guest for dinner numbers. We are joining with the Lions Club let us hope we have good attendance. Mayor Vic said there will be Q & A time, so if you have that burning question for the Mayor, please write it down and he will respond.
October theme is Economic and Community Development.
Please wear your new green and blue shirts (pick up from John Vichie’s (0435 651 269) shop if you haven’t already). John will bring the remainder along so if you haven’t picked it up before Monday evening, you can get it at the International Club on Monday.
Ann Richardson will be taking the remaining Satellite member shirts to the Thai Restaurant on Wednesday evening. A social Satellite dinner meeting all members are welcome to attend, but please let Janelle Bell (0400 028 628) know so she can tell the restaurant numbers.
At the board meeting on Monday, attendance was offered to all, thanks Jim Baxter for your contribution. Board member Fran Hodgson was our host for the evening. John Vichie, Julie Beddow, Kim Thorburn and myself were also in attendance. Kim will be posting the minutes on the members section of our website.
One of our discussions was around Zoom meetings and Julie is going to organise a guest speaker roster to help us have more attractive, productive and enjoyable zoom meetings. A job shared will allow members greater opportunity to share their interests with all our members. We also have the member spot 4th Monday in the month. Put your name down to be a part of that too.
The next zoom meeting is 19th October, we have District Foundation Chair Phil Fairweather joining us to talk about Polio and Foundation. There will be Q&A so put on your thinking hats.
There will be a breakfast membership meeting at Vixens 8am next Wednesday. Please let Jim Baxter know if you would like to attend or join the new committee
(0427 621 302).
Julie Beddow is organising a Polio Stand for the 24th. A chance to wear your Polio Shirt and join us.
Covid sure has put a damper on the spirits of many members. It doesn’t have to be like that! Many organisations are thinking outside the box and still having fundraising ideas flowing through, it is just different. As our RI President Holger Knaak states, “Together our capacity to do good is infinite”.
Bill Bonner will visit the club when he can, he is taking up residence in Brisbane, this will be a new way of life for Bill, but he will be more central to his family and Jim Barnes reports he has already found new friends and has renewed past friendships. We wish you well Bill.

The further you travel from those you admire, the more wrong people become until the only conclusion you’re left with is that entire tranches of the human population are stupid, evil or insane. Which leaves you, the single living human who’s right about everything, the perfect point of light, clarity and genius, who burns with godlike luminescence at the centre of the universe. Will Storr, ‘The Science of Storytelling’
