What we think,
or what we know,
or what we believe,
is, in the end of little consequence.
The only consequence is what we do.

RCNB Police Mentoring Update from Russell Cooper
 
I'm sure many of you may recall meeting Senior Sergeant Ashley Wigg who was appointed as the Police mentee for the year beginning last November.
Men's Shed
Our Men's Shed is thriving and a very successful project.
 
Here is an update so you can see how it is going.
 
 
 
 
End Polio
The Rotaract Club has entered a Team in the virtual End Polio Walk during October.
 
We are the Rotaboars!!

Indigenous Hearing
It was pleasing to see an article on Hearing Australia doing great things.  Professor Amanda Leach commented to Pres Greg that her Menzies School Research team, for which we are funding $7500 for equipment, is providing vital research information to Hearing Australia and other such organisation in their endeavours to address hearing issues with Indigenous children in NT Communities.  A great Project for RCNB.
