Last week being International Women’s Day, Monday evening incoming President Elect Tonia Barnes announced her board of directors for the 2018-19 year including Dick Groom, Jim Henry, Bill Humphries, Carol Jagger, Marilyn Jarret, Shirley Johnston, John Kenny, Heather Morton, Helen Stirling and Barry Wilson. Tonia is our second female president and will induct her board at our June changeover. With over 30 per cent of our membership now female it is great to see Rotary is no longer just a men’s club! Our club is open to all and we look forward to welcoming you to our club one day soon.
President Lloyd had the pleasure of inducting Rotarian Susan Alexander into the Club. Susan joins us from Canberra and looks forward to continuing her great work with Rotary in Kiama.

Kiama Lions
Last weekend a large group of Lions descended on the Carers Cottage armed with paint brushes and in only 3 hours had completely covered the cladding in its first coat of paint. The top coats will be added this weekend. The new floor is complete, and the plumbers should start shortly.
The performances of Murder Upstairs Downstairs at Upton Priory have been very pleasing, especially as the profits are going towards the Cottage project.
Our speaker at our last dinner, "Fat Albert", gave a very interesting presentation on Internet Scams and how to avoid being caught. This week’s Dinner Meeting Speaker is Glenn Kolomeitz, who will discuss the Rise of China - a strategic threat or a commercial opportunity?
Our teams are now all geared up for Driver Reviver at Dunmore over the Easter Holidays.
