Message from our President - Ron's Ramblings
Good to see our two guests, Kevin Egan and Kevin Siegersma for the second time last week, we hope you enjoyed our speaker, member Barry Oliver who gave us a very interesting and in depth insight into his past and his varied career.
At this weeks meeting I will give a further update on the process of ‘regionalisation’ and the opportunity for one or two of our members to consider getting involved as one of the community group leaders.
I would like to ask all members is to please read the Bulletin and check if you are rostered for any duties on the rosters and if you cannot make it please try and organise a replacement. It appears as though it is falling back onto a few regular members to carry out the weekly duties required at meetings.
This weeks speaker will be Lilli Franco, Greg O’Shea’s replacement at Holmesglen.
Yours in Rotary ‘Create Hope in The World.’
President Ron

URATA LOOKOUT CAFÉ In 2023, the Rotary Club of Savusavu in partnership with the mataqali Urata, whose land it is on, opened a lookout cafe above Urata Village. This project was all about economic empowerment of a rural community: up-skilling the local community, giving them a stake in tourism, environmental rehabilitation, establishing a highly attractive tourist stop on the Labasa - Savusavu road.

Note from the Editor re Images and Events
A point regarding the submission of images for the Bulletin and Website: Members are reminded that images have to meet a minimum size requirement, as has been specified for some time in the section at the bottom of this Bulletin. 820 pixels is the minimum size required with larger being better as this allows for cropping. The submission of images via MMS is NOT preferred as they are too small and of inferior quality. Email or Whatsapp is preferred.
Would any member like to take responsibility for the updating of the Club's Event Calendar? I have created a page of instructions here so it is very easy to take over.
Thank you, Ian Ballantine
I remind members that you are responsible for the information contained in the Club's database. This includes, birthdays, phone numbers, addresses etc etc. Even your own photo. You maintain this via this link.

A reminder to members to keep checking the calendar of upcoming events for evening and perhaps, one day, daytime events.
