Screen shot from our fourth District Wide Zoom Meeting

As District Chair News Editor I would like to say I trust everyone is taking good care of themselves with this COVID 19..practicing the "social distancing". Soon we'll be back to "normal", however life as we knew it has changed and we'll be practicing a new lifestyle!. To everyone in the District 9570 and your families..stay strong and enjoy your Zoom meetings.

Jippe has arrived home safely and proudly holds his exchange certificate. A big thank you to Bundaberg Sunrise Rotary Club and the host families that hosted Jippe. Just love the Netherlands blazer

A great man who will be sadly missed by the Club and also Gladstone for his accomplishments over the years since moving to Gladstone in the early 80's.

Gay and I are truly inspired by how Rotarians and Rotaractors across the globe have taken swift action to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Rotary year’s end is fast approaching. Officers-Elect are planning their year in office. Serving Officers are ready to put their feet up. And everyone prepares to celebrate a year of hard work with one of our annual ceremonies: The Changeover.

Threat or Opportunity?

For the last few years, our club members have taken part in the Airlie Beach ANZAC Day March and Service. This was not possible this year, but a few members were able to take part in the Light up the Dawn Anzac Day Driveway Challenge. Well done President John Mol, Past President Allan Robinson and Merewyn Wright - Rotarian - District 9550 Governor Elect. Our other members were with us in spirit, as we honoured and remembered all those who served in various conflicts over many years. Lest We Forget. #lightupthedawn #ourwhitsunday #wearerotary #anzacspirit
