Auction Night Update
 Well we are fast getting to the pointy end of our Rotary year with our Dinner Auction happening on Fri Oct 13th @ Dromoland House in Pako.  Please note that Domoland House is now called Capri Receptions. Paul needs us all to seek as many donations as possible. Also next week Paul is seeking to confirm table numbers so please have these ready to go.  It's shaping up to be a really great night - new venue and band and the theme is Á Touch of Black'.  Let's see if we can beat the funds we raised last year!  There is no reason why not - with everyone's support.
National Youth Science Forum - January 2018
Deborah Walker is a year 11 student at Belmont HS who was successful in her application to attend the National Youth Science Forum in January 2018. We are sponsoring Deborah jointly with Belmont Rotary. Deborah kindly invited me to attend a reception for the 2018 NYSF participants at Government House last Tuesday - here we are! I will be arranging for Deborah and her family to come to Rotary early next term.

Humans in Geelong Expo
 
 
 
We received an email from Kathy Ryan Corio Bay RC promoting the 'Humans in Geelong (HUGS)Expo' which will be held at Deakin Waterfront Cafe, Sunday 8th October 10am-3pm. Event is free - just a gold coin entry donation. 
HUGS publishes internet and facebook stories about the good things happening in our local community.  The expo will showcase some of the organisations and individuals which have been published by HUGS in the past 12 months.
Of interest is Stephanie Woollard, a Rotary Peace Scholar who has created the International aid organisation 'Seven Women'. Seven Women helps women in Nepal with practical production skills such as sewing, growing vegetables as well as literacy and money management skills. 
So why not think about putting this in your diary.  Sounds like a great day.  
Reminders for your Calendar.
