Developing Closer Links with the Salvos
Our Guest Speakers this week were Captain Phil Abram and Assistant Tim Kite who talked about the work the Salvation Army is doing to support needy people in Wyndham.
The follow-up Q & A opened up a number of possibilities for much closer discussion and engagement between the Salvos and Werribee Rotary.
Phil and Tim offered an invitation for our members to come to lunch on a Tues, Wed or Thurs to meet the other diners and to chat with the Salvo helpers about the work they are doing in Wyndham.
Here is an opportunity for one or more of our members to take up the lead in a new Club PROJECT – a partnership between the Club and Werribee Salvos.
Our Meeting Next Week
The ISCW have advised, that the new Covid restrictions that apply from 11.06.2021, with the cap on the number of patrons, would mean that it is not economical for them to reopen. The ISCW will remain shut until the next level of restrictions are reviewed on Thursday 17 June.. So next weeks meeting will be back on Zoom.
Our visitors this week
Werner Steinborn and Jerestene Saher attended again, while Imran Kashem was unwell and sent his apologies.
At my invitation Jess gave us a very interesting insight of how she makes chocolates, which is part of her business – Jess Catering Services.
Rescheduled Date for Changeover
Graham Roper explained the problems relating to Covid in having Changeover as originally scheduled for Sun, June 20th.
Graham has arranged with Tino and Robyn Ballan to reschedule the Changeover to Sun, July 4th.
The starting time, cost and other arrangements remain the same.
Here’s hoping for our post-lockdown freedom during the week!
