ONE AND ALL SAIL TRAINING

Our quiz night on Saturday will raise funds for Rotary's youth Projects. Our favourite is the sail training on the 'One and All' training ship.

Aiden Jones recently returned from a wild and wooly trip of more than 340 nautical miles of which the students sailed 300 on their own. The seas were too rough to allow a landing on the beach at Kangaroo Island for sandy fun, so the students sailed the ship the whole way out and back for days except for a short distance navigating the Port River and near gulf.

"Rotary Youth Sailing Voyages are available to all students who are 15 to under 19 years of age. These Voyages have proven to be of great benefit to students whose schooling is affected because they are low in self-confidence and/or have a tendency to be shy and retiring."

CRAFT CREATE and CONNECT

Extra tables were needed for the crafty ladies and gentlemen who played games, crocheted, knitted, woodburnt, drew and made cards this Wednesday morning.

Merilyn didn't disappoint when making toasted sandwiches with Ray's help. Always a welcome snack with a cuppa.

CFS WATER TANK CHERRY GARDENS

Several years ago our club allocated funds to a joint Clubs project in Timor Leste that did not go ahead due to COVID. Those funds were later reallocated by us to the Rotary Club of Flagstaff Hill for a water tank for the Cherry Gardens Country Fire Service. After much lobbying and fund raising by Flagstaff Hill, the first ground has been broken and foundations are being prepared for a 223,000 litre galvanised water tank which will be an asset in the hills during fire season. Thank you RC Flagstaff Hill members for your diligence and perseverance in seeing this project through to the end.
