18 September 2013 Edition

The RYPEN seminar was held last weekend at Mogo – Natalie took the 4 from the Queanbeyan HighSchool Interact Club down on Friday and, on Sunday, Peter Bascomb (President of Bungendore) broughtthem back to Bungendore and Doug brought them back from Bungendore. Thanks to all for achieving thisand I hope the 4 students had a fantastic time.

Tania McCartney’s book ‘ Riley and the Jumpy Kangaroo’ was launched at Floriade at 2pm on Sunday just

adjacent to Gnome Knoll – what a fantastic day – all went so well with Genevieve introducing the proceedings and Tania introducing her book and reading it to a large group of children and adults. Ross andGabrielle and our crew of Natalie, Joan, Trent, Bill, Glenys (Natalie’s Mum) and Curtis (QHS Interact Club)

put it together and I took the photos. Thank you to all. The gnome area across the way did very well over theweekend – about 200 on Saturday and 300 on Sunday!!

Don’t forget that the gnomes are our biggest commitment over the next four weeks -please let me know if you are able to commit to any more sessions.

On Monday night a few of us visited ‘Grill’d’ at Manuka to eat and then be given a cheque for $100 fromour month of fundraising – fantastic way to raise money – eat! Thanks to Grill’d and those that suppor tedour Rotary Club. We can do it again in 12 months time.

Last week we had a successful Board meeting – thanks to all. This week is Footy Colours Day – please wear your/someone elses footy gear and enjoy the night – look forward to seeing you and your friends at themeeting.
