Please call/text me if you would like to know more about Rotary, our Club and our 2022 projects. Do you know you can be involved in some of our community projects in the Blue Mountains, working alongside some pretty interesting people. It's always rewarding to participate and have fun while you're doing it.

Our Club, currently celebrating our 20th year, and in recognition of the wonderful work carried out by the late Irene Reid, will be publishing Irene's Cookbook this year. It will make a great Christmas gift with all net proceeds going to an appropriate charity.

 

In the early period of the Club, Irene's cooking and catering skills, contributed immensely to our fundraising efforts. With Bob Reid's support and under the leadership of Jenny Hartnett and the input of many team members who were close to Irene, we are assembling and testing Irene's recipes and developing the first draft. We will add other recipes to the mix and publish a professional and moving story about Irene's rich life.

 

Last weekend we had over thirty members bring along a meal based on one of Irene's hand-crafted recipes. They were all carefully photographed by Michael Small before being enthusiastically devoured by the crowd. In a word...delicious!

 

We will keep everyone updated over the next few months.

 

 

 

We regret to inform all of our Club Members and long time friends of the passing of one of our own, Ken Devine.  Ken had been a very active member of our Club, often involved in the planning and execution of our annual charity event.  In addition, he was very philanthropic with his financial support of The Club as well as with many local charities.  In addition, Ken offered substantial financial support to several Nepalese orphanages.
 
Even in spite of the quarantine, his daughter, Catherine, who lives in America was able to fly in and join the rest of his children and his partner, Margie.  We will miss him dearly.
