From the Pen of the President....
The past week has demonstrated nature in some of its different
guises. On Tuesday evening we had a magnificent sunset lasting nearly three
quarters of an hour with the many clouds turning pink and then turning to a
bright gold that slowly dulled until 19:15. Then on Friday we had a huge
thunderstorm with hail that resulted in the Wanderers bowling greens being under
a sheet of water and flooding in several areas. We can only be in awe of what
nature can do.

Last Friday...
... and also the last Friday of the month and therefore a social meeting was held at Wanderers, and if you weren't able to be there in person you unfortunately missed out on the Fellowship as it was decided that there would be no Zoom participation as it would not be very gratifying.
It was a small gathering, the pizza offering was tasty and the conversation was at times weighty, because of the tumultuous times we are living through, but James Croswell, our duty sergeant lightened the mood with some choice jokes and a raffle for a home grown succulent which was won by Lyn Collocott.
An unexpected Highveld thunderstorm meant that a few of us got thoroughly drenched while scampering for our cars.
Our contribution to the Rotary Day of Action did not go unnoticed....
An email received by Lyn from Shirley Tebbutt, a Blairgowrie resident and a champion for the Delta Park
Hi Lyn and all the Rotary members
Wow, what a difference you are making to the sensory garden – it looks sooooo much better.
Are you planning to put plants into the raised pots?
Soon it will be a pleasure to walk through the garden again. Well done and many thanks.
I am about the to write the Delta Park Newsletter --- and all this will be in it. Can’t have people thinking
City Parks had done all this !!!
Cheers
Shirley
