- Terry Kane displayed two Certificates of Appreciation our club received from our sister club - R.C. of South Davao for our club's donations for free cataract operations in December 2023, and December 2024 for people in need in the Philippines.
- A reminder to everyone that next week's club meeting is an evening meeting at Cilantro on Thursday 29/5. All members need to register their attendance.
- John Mason displayed a scarf he received from Celestina (Tina) Daez, the ROMAC recipient from Timor Leste that he and Margaret hosted whilst recuperating from her surgeries in 2015. Tina is now a young lady, studying English at university with plans to become a teacher. It is not often that we get to see the results of where our Rotary programs have had an impact - and it is always very satisfying when we do. John's ongoing connection with Tina is one of them - how lucky we are.
