President Swapna - 22 April
We have had fierce storms in NSW, the wind and rain were making lots of trouble. Hope you managed to be safe and didn't break an umbrella like I did!
 
This week, we had our very own member PP Warren Bolton talk to us about his exciting new wheels-his American Tesla . This car is revolutionary in its use of technology and electricity - it literally runs on power panels!
 
He spoke of the features and technological attributes of his car including its safety, gear box (just forward and back) and luxury of driving without driving at all. Although he may be using lots of power to charge up his car, it is environmentally friendly and does love the sun.
 
We thank Warren for sharing his journey with his new car.
 
We also shared a very special moment with our new member Les Walsh whom was presented a Shield of Excellence by PDG Graeme Davis. Graeme made a special guest appearance at our meeting to present the award. Congratulations Les- well done indeed!
 
A reminder to members that you need to organise your Working with Children Check as part of the new laws. You will receive information from our secretary on how this is to be done.
 
This week, we dedicated our International Toast to the Rotary Club of Calgary North, Canada http://rotaryclubofcalgarynorth.com/
 
We have a BBQ this weekend, thank you to those of you working the ANZAC day afternoon. It is most appreciated.
 
We also officially welcomed Phil Smith as a new member to our club - another experienced member from Chatswood joins us!
 
Finally, a very Happy Birthday to Tom Sweeney whom celebrated his birthday on Monday (20 April).
 
Hope you stay safe and keep warm during this stormy weather. Have great week!
