SUE’S SNIPPET
First week back at the RSA after a rather long hiatus was a mixture of joy and relief. I have calculated that 80% of the first half of being your President has been completed on zoom, emails and phone calls. We welcomed education scholarship recipients Taylor and Ashley who both talked about their 2021 final school year and plans for 2022. Both girls accomplished so much in 2021 despite Covid lockdown disruptions, excelling academically and in service to their schools. Taylor's sister Paige, a past recipient, gave the club an update on her journey through Medical School and an insight into a special research project she has undertaken during the holidays. Catherine was a 2020 recipient, studying to be a paramedic, and returned to speak on her first year of study, somewhat disrupted due to Covid as she struggled to start her practicum online rather than in an ambulance.

I shared two thank you notes to members:
One from Murray & Pam:
"Dear Sue, Would you please pass on to the club members my sincere thanks for the beautiful flowers I received last week. It has certainly been a sad time for us with the deaths of both my brother-in-law just before Christmas, and then my sister on January 10th. Murray and I both appreciate the loving thoughts and good wishes from all our Rotary friends. With thanks again, Pam Guy"
One from Anne:
This week Donna has arranged as guest speakers, some more education scholarship recipients to hear their stories and plans for 2022. Committees will meet on Thursday, 10th February as we have the two short weeks/long weekends back to back.
Apologies please!
Thank you to those who responded to my email last week and let me know if you were coming / or not to our meeting.
Please, if you are unable to come to this week's meeting, please email or text me so I can advise numbers to the caterer - by midday, Wednesday, 2nd Feb.
Take care & see you Thursday, Sue
