Another great speaker at last week's meeting. Tracey Gleaves from Recovery Camp gave a very detailed presentation on what Recovery Camp is all about and how it has helped people with lived experience of mental illness whilst supporting the training of mental health nurses through its registered program. It was easy to see that our support of Recovery Camp will be very beneficial to all concerned.

The presentation of donations from the Rotary Illawarra Charity Race Day were made on Saturday morning at North Beach Pavilion. We incorporated the presentation with DG Renga Rajan and wife Bharathi's 'Couple on a Mission' fund raising initiative. Attended by all four organising clubs, as well as Robert Servine from Green Connect Farm and both Dot Hennessy and Dan from PCYC, who were all very appreciative of the donation which will go to fund various programs in both organisations.

A reminder that this week is our Pre-Meeting drinks social starting at 5:30PM in the Centro CBD courtyard, followed by our regular meeting and board meeting. This week's meeting discussion will centre around the 2026/27 President's role and also our club meeting schedule. I would really encourage all members to participate in the discussion and look forward to seeing you all there.
