A Lunch for John Henderson.
This Wednesday at Claremont Golf Course cafe, Teebox, those keen to see John again, a Life Member of AxR, are invited to a catch-up lunch.
So far about 7 of us will be attending for a 12.30 sit-down, but let me know if you are interested.
Essi and her year in Oz.
One of the best AxR meetings I have ever attended, listening to our outstanding young Finish Exchange Student present her summary of almost 12 months with us here in AxR.
Essi certainly had some amazing experiences and, along with many of her fellow Exchangees, has had a year never to be forgotten.
This truly is one of Rotary's greatest ongoing projects, and especially well done to both host parents and Graeme Fardon as chief co-ordinator for our WA Exchange program.
Seeing so many of Essi's school friends present tells you what an outstanding young person Essi really is: well done Essi and we will miss your smiling face when you return to your home country and family awaiting.
Break-in at our storage unit... AGAIN!
For the second time our outside storage in McCoy St for AxR assets was subject to a wilful break-in which I discovered mid last week. One of the lock-on doors was pulled from its hinges, with many items strew about. One box of Makers Market mark-out equipment is missing and will have to be replaced. Truly, nothing much of real value to anyone but AxR!
A real bugga, and this week we will need to upgrade our security to hopefully avoid future problems.
Losing Our Liz.
It was sad to hear last week that Liz P has decided to leave AxR after approx 13/14 years of fantastic support for the real heart of what we are all about, especially for the social and JacFest activities of our club.
Well done Liz, lost as a member but not as a friend to all.
