IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Fellow Rotarian Geoff Kneale and Melissa have both tested positive for COVID on Thursday – they thought it was only a cold….
The message from Geoff is that they are “young and being careful but still got it. It’s a good lesson to not be complacent, especially at the supermarket”.
President's Comments
Welcome to the new look Grapevine as we start this new Rotary year in lockdown!!
The intent of refreshing our Club Newsletter is to provide Members with a concise, relevant, and easy way of keeping abreast each week of the activities of our great Club and the wider Rotary arena. Our amazing Jane Pennington has run with this facelift in recent weeks and will be our Club Editor whilst training ‘others’.
Hence, there are several articles, dates, and events where a simple click on the link will take you to the full source information, mainly on our Website. In cases where our Website has ‘Member Only’ information for security purposes, you will need your Website Username/password to access the relevant information – if in any doubt, call Jane.
The Club really owes a huge thank you to both John Skinny McBride and Peter Sutherland for producing Grapevine basically since 2005 – time to log-off for a while.
As always, any feedback for continued improvement is welcome any time. Enjoy the read, have fun exploring the linked Websites and Open Opportunities.
Cheers, President Greg
