It's in the Bag! Packing days 22-24 Nov (Rotary Nomads)

The Rotary nomads have participated in this amazing project of collecting handbags and filling them with necessities and luxuries for the past 4 years. Last year we collected over 300 handbags which we then gave to Share the Dignity to be dispersed to people in need.

We are doing it again this year and we need your help. Clean out the cupboards and see if you have any handbags in good condition. If you have any donations, please contact Allison or Sue (see event notice for details) to organize collection.

Our packing days are on Mon 22nd Nov, Tues 23rd Nov and Wed 24th November from 9.am to 12.00 pm at District Headquarters, Bostock House, Wacol. If you can attend to assist us with packing on any of these days, that would be fantastic. Please contact Allison or Sue to inform us of your preferred date.

How to get your news on the district Facebook page
About this e-bulletin
Welcome to the Gist! Rather than send multiple messages per week to club officers in the hope that they will channel your interests and pass on what is important to you, we will be sending one digest email per week using the Clubrunner platform which lists new things in the top section, and reminders of old news in the bottom section. That way, you only need to scan the top half of one email per week to get the Gist, and everyone gets the Gist!
 
This e-bulletin is published by your District Administrator and Webmaster to let Rotarians and any other subscribers know about what is happening in the district.
 
Important announcements and event notices will run once only in the "Breaking News" section, and events will continue to be published down below in the "Event Reminders" section until the event has passed.
 
Clubs are encouraged to send us news of upcoming events that they think members of other clubs might be interested in attending. A good event notice might include some or all of the following. It must be actionable in some way if it is to have an impact.
  • Teaser text (max: 200 words)
  • Follow-on text (optional)
  • An image to catch the eye (could be a flyer image)
  • Information on when, where
  • Contact for the event (must be a Rotarian or Rotaractor within the district)
  • Information on how to register interest if applicable. (A link is best, but an email or phone number is also OK)

Where appropriate, events will also be entered into the district calendar and displayed on the website.

If you are not an active or honorary Rotarian in district 9620, or you would like this to be delivered to a different mailbox from your Rotary primary email address, you can click on the subscribe link below to add an address to the database of recipients.

Please send event info to:  gist@rotary9620.org

 
We are always interested in hearing your feedback and suggestions on this.
