Two weeks and two great guest speakers, last week Michael Bendon a fascinating archeologist and this week David Bauche, the editor of the Hornsby Advocate. Michael spoke enthusiastically about some WWII research he had been doing around the war in Crete. David is also passionate about hsi work and it seems the Advocate will continue to have a great local flavour under his stewardship. |

Our annual Christmas Tree Sale will take place over the weekends of the 9th/10th and the 16th/17th of December. We only sell onthe Sunday if we have trees left so be early on the Staurday to get the best trees.
UPDATE:
Two very successful weekends were had with excellent community support, we sold just under 200 trees over the two weekends with a very useful injection into our Project account. As always with Rotary 100% of monies raised goes on the project - nothing to administration of the club. |

 Thanks to DG David for taking part in a fundraiser for local disability group Studio ARTES on Saturday. David had to complete two tasks in the wheelchair as well as raise $500 before he could get out of the chair :-) Seen here with the Rotary Club of Waitara BBQ - STudio ARTES is a member of their Community Connections program.
Local Rotarian, President Bobby Holder of the Hornsby Club also contributed to the fun and the funds, Hornsby Club donated $500 on the day.

Blackwattle Ball 2012 Update |
|
|
|
|
At the meeting on Monday 31st October the club set the date for the next Blackwattle Ball. Pending final confirmation from the RSL on the availability of the date it will be held on the 8th September 2012. (moved from the 1st)
The club is now actively looking for sponsors, both major and minor and hopes to soon announce the Premier sponsor and with luck it will be very exciting. As per last year table sponsors will be $1000, $2000 and $5000. With appropriate numbers of free tickets and advertising both in the pre-release material and on the night.
After a reasonably successful turnout this year we are aiming for an attendance of around 400.
The club also decided that we would stay with the two major charities, Studio ARTES and the local Salvation Army Homeless Programs.
Keep coming back for more information.
