Kiama Rotarians joined our Berry colleagues recently at their annual Celtic Fair held at Berry Showground. As well as cooking our usual barbeque fare, we also served a variety of Celtic cuisine including haggis, blood pudding and Scottish sausage. Club members Bill Humphreys and John Kenny participated with the Kiama Pipe Band while stalwart member Ray Thorburn served as a judge.
Minister for Emergency Services Troy Grant announced the 24 finalists in the 2017, Rotary NSW Emergency Services Community Awards at Parliament House on Tuesday. The awards recognise and celebrate outstanding community service performed by NSW Emergency Service Personnel. Funds raised support two important Rotary initiatives namely, PhD Research to investigate Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in Emergency Service workers and an Emergency Services Team going to Vanuatu later this year to conduct training in emergency and disaster preparedness.
KIAMA LIONS
June 2 was a big day for the club as we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding of Lions Clubs in Chicago by Melvin Jones. We had a big party at the Pavilion and many past and present members attended as well as members of our daughter clubs, Minnamurra, Gerringong and Shellharbour.
Our previous dinner meeting featured the two lads we sent on the Outward Bound adventure course, they described their experiences and agreed that this course would have an enormous beneficial effect on them.
The news from the Respite House project is that we have been given all the interior Gyprock we require and so we have purchased a large container to use as a store. We have ordered new windows and when these arrive we will paint the cladding and then install it on the walls. We are currently investigating the installation of solar power and hot water.
Our next dinner meeting will be the last of this Lions year because the Changeover dinner will take place on June 22.
We will be doing a sausage sizzle at Bunnings on 10th June, we hope to see you there.
