We’ve all heard of “Where’s Wally” but today we are playing “Where’s Chloe?”

Somewhere in this group of Inbound Exchange Students on their “Reef and Rock Safari Tour” is our own Chloe Bury.

Tonight I joined with about 30 Rotarians and attended the very first Rotary/ Rotaract Networking Evening.Many clubs were represented as well as the District by DG Phillip Charles and Marlene as well as DGN Doug St. Clair.

Immediate Past President, Brooke Gibson (Rotaract Club of Sunnybank) addresses the guest at the meeting.

Thanks to Dee Douglas and Mary-Ellen Nielsen today’s High Tea was a great success.

They were the driving force behind our first ever fundraising effort in support of the “Days For Girls” Charity.Dee and Mary-Ellen received fantastic support from other members of our club during the organising process.

“Days For Girls” is an international organisation and for more information please check out their webpage at www.daysforgirls.org or contact our Rotary Club through the Contacts tab on this Homepage.

Congratulations to our Chloe and the entire YEP Inbound cohort for the wonderful job they did at the”2015 Tastes Of The World Expo”hosted by The District 9630  organisation.

Earlier this evening Stephen made contact with his family.He seems to be safe and well and with his group is starting his trek home.
Can’t wait to see him.

Please keep our Immediate Past President Stephen Ganko and his family in your thoughts as we await further news onhis fate and that of his companions in Nepal.
Following the devastating earthquake in Nepal yesterday, during all of the confusion, one of his party was able to make contact with his wife in Graceville to let her know that everyone in their party was alright.
At the time of the earthquake they were at Everest Base Camp.Although they had no exit strategy at the time, information flowing from DEFAT is saying that all airports are now open and they will be running international flights around the clock.
Unconfirmed news reports have stated that they have helicopters getting the injured out so perhaps they will be evacuated soon.
I will post more as I receive information.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you all to the Rotary Club of Brisbane Taylor Bridge’s 2016 Outbound YEP Student.

Luisa Ganko is the third daughter of club members PP Stephen Ganko and Rhonda Ganko and she is applying for exchange in France.Luisa is a Grade 12 student at St Peter’s Lutheran College in Indooroopilly, and younger sister of Camilla Ganko who exchanged in Belgium a few years ago.

Yesterday saw members take up their posts for our first roster of the season at the Tennyson Sporting Grounds, to assit with patron car parking for the Gregory Terrace “St Joseph’s” rugby home games.

GO WARREN!

Tidy work team.

Thanks to Mary-Ellen Nielsen the members of our club, along with some partners and guests had another wonderful dining out night.

Bare None at Graceville where great hosts again.

Congratulations Paul!
