Picnic in the Park, What are our members getting up to, Club 100 winners, and our Club gets a mention in the media......

 From the Pen of the President...

President Costa welcomes the attendees

The picnic breakfast we had at Delta Park last Saturday was attended by 24 people including friends, spouses and Anns. It really was great having a face-to-face in person function and I realise just how much we have missed by having Zoom meetings because of Covid restrictions. We intend to have physical Rotary meetings at least twice a month going forward but with a Zoom link so that our overseas members can participate. I am sure that it is everyone’s prayer for the Covid pandemic and related restrictions to end as soon as possible. I trust that everyone who intends coming to physical meetings will have been vaccinated.

Last Friday.....

...was Heritage Day, and what better way to celebrate the day than having a picnic breakfast in the Delta Park. It was the perfect setting to introduce our proposed environment project to the club members and the Anns and their families.

Next to Environmental Centre you find the Sasol sponsored Sensory Garden as well as the Rand Water water wise garden. It is a beautiful spot which has been sadly neglected, but with a bit of effort and water we can hopefully restore it back to its former glory.

The breakfast was a veritable feast with fruit salad and yoghurt, homemade muffins and scones, sandwiches and chipolatas, brownies and John Symons even shared his birthday cake with us.

The fellowship was priceless and everyone agreed that this was just what the doctor ordered.

Meanwhile.....what are our members getting up to?

The Namaqualand flowers have been particularly spectacular this year and David Bradshaw and his family have had the rare privilege of enjoying the splendour at its very best.

The Rotary Club of Rosebank is commended by the Media....

A few months ago the Rosebank Killarney Gazette ran an article showcasing the delivery of the JoJo tank which was to store the very precious water needed for the community vegetable garden in the Durban Deep informal settlement.

Last week the Gazette ran a follow-up piece. 

This Friday.....

....we welcome guest speaker Professor Andrew Thatcher who will be giving us insights into green grey water treatment in informal settlements.
