Update

Steph and Suzanna visited the RSPCA today and presented a cheque from our club for $600. The money will go towards the wildlife centre where they have rehabilitation programs for skinks, possums, birds, bats, snakes and even a blue tongue lizard. The RSPCA officers were telling Steph and Suzanna that our donation is equivalent to three times the annual food budget for the centre or the cost of a heating pod-thing (can't remember what they said it was called!) so it will definitely go to good use.

We had a very informal meeting tonight, held outside in the undercover area next to our meeting room. Tim very thoughtfully provided us with some red and blue paint and we got cracking on creating some club banners... one of which is very professional looking and others slightly less so.

Laura passed around a roster as we have secured a spot to visit several Rotary clubs and talk about Rotaract, our club and our projects. There are still quite a few blanks spots so if you weren't at the meeting please, please, please email Laura and see what spots need visitors. Centenary and Ipswich both have meetings on Wednesday mornings that meet at 6:45 for 7:00 I believe so that may fit better if you have work and other evening committments.

Everyone who went along to anti-graffiti last weekend reported back that it went really well (see your Bulletin for photos) - the next one will be held on the last Sunday of March, the 30th. Instead of splitting into a painting team and a bbq team we will see how it goes having everyone painting then everyone helping set up the barbie. Hopefully we can make the bbq/picnic a meet and greet and information session for any people potentially interested in becoming a member.

Our next meeting on the 20th March is Bring A Friend night and we will hopefully have some guest speakers talking to us about the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Everyone and anyone is welcome so get all your mates and family and bring them along.
