24.01.2022 After Tuesday nights meeting, we further decided to extend a "No Car Boot Sale" for the month of June too. Hopefully, restrictions will be eased to allow us to conduct the July Car Boot. To our patrons, please be patient.

24.01.2022 Due to forces beyond our control, the September Car Boot Sale at Stocklands, Burleigh Waters is CANCELLED.

23.01.2022 On Monday, 22nd June, Rotary CCT President Ian, Diana & Peter ventured to the Currumbin Community Special School, and joined Rotary Burleigh members for a presentation of promised funding in the form of a cheque for $11.000.00 for a modern and safe sports play area . Instigated by the Burleigh Club, we were more than willing to help in the funding. We were greeted by the School Principal, Nikki, and various members of the school. Rotary Club Burleigh President, Colleen and CCT President Ian, presented the cheque with a rousing applause. The school presented Burleigh Pres. Colleen with a fine mural painted by the students in appreciation.

23.01.2022 Hi to all our Car Boot patrons. At the conclusion of our meeting last night, we decided to NOT HOLD the June Car Boot. We still have no clarification to the COVID19 shutdown. Considering we do not sell food, we do not fall under that particular realm of umbrella to be open. We are awaiting definition for July, but, still not defined. Apologies; we will endeavour to keep you all up-to-date. Rotary CCT.

23.01.2022 With Anzac Day tomorrow, We thought it would be prudent to share this poem. Its worth a listen a great opportunity to reflect about the major sacrifice made by our ancestors. "Lest we forget" Beneath the faded word. By Peter Thomas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ_Rn7O6AWE

21.01.2022 I was sad to learn of the passing today of Past Rotary International President Sir Clem Renouf. Sir Clem was RI President 1978 1979 and was from Queensland, ...Australia. The world and Rotary owe Sir Clem a great debt. Sir Clem was instumental in initiating the 3H Program Health, Hunger and Humanity to WHO and UNICEF and The Birth of Polio Plus. His legacy is a world without polio He was truely a remarkable man! Rest in Peace

20.01.2022 For what it is worth. When Laura Gerber, our new MP for Currumbin made her maiden speech in Parliament, our Rotary Club received a mention, as did Mary & Peter Flynn for their contributions to the community.

19.01.2022 Just an update: NO MAY CAR BOOT SALE, sorry. Hoping for June though.

18.01.2022 HOW MANY SAUSAGE SIZZLES DOES IT TAKE TO RAISE $30k? It took John and his Rotary Club just over two years and A LOT of weekends in Bunnings carpark to raise t...he funds to buy this ENDOSCOPE for Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Foundation This equipment will save the lives of waterbirds and other wildlife who ingest fishhooks and fishing line and would otherwise need to undergo major surgery and weeks of recovery. Now with a simple procedure using a camera and instruments the fishhooks and line can be retrieved and the animals released the next day back into the wild!! I was so EXCITED to be part of the celebrations today and help showcase the incredible work of these wildlife warriors!! Rotary Club of Currumbin Coolangatta Tweed Inc

14.01.2022 Last night, Tuesday, our Rotary Club held their meeting at the Tweed Heads Bowls Club in lieu of at Twin Towns. The Corona Virus is disrupting where we can meet. Many thanks to the Bowls Club for allowing us to be a patron at their premises on such short notice. Our guest speaker, Mr Mick Palmer, a past Federal Police Commissioner and retired Barrister, enlightened us with his history in the force and discussed problems with the cause and effect with crime and to not judge a ...book by its cover. Notations brought to the fore were: Do not impose on people, but embrace their thoughts and ideas; Punish the crime, but treat the reason why; Be precise in your estimation of the crime. Mick also discussed concerns with drugs and the problems associated with importation, supply and use. The night finished on a very bright note with the Currumbin Sanctuary Vet Hospital conveying to us how pleased they were with the piece of equipment we helped to supply them with. See more

09.01.2022 The Rotary Car Boot Sale for July, at Stocklands Shopping Centre, Burleigh, is unfortunately postponed once again. As we are a NON ESSENTIAL Market, it is extremely difficult to receive authorisation from Government and Health to conduct the market. We are putting a submission in to the departments to enable us to participate for a probable August. We are just as upset as our Patrons, but the Corona19 is making it extremely difficult. Thank you.

08.01.2022 Well done Rotary Ashmore.

08.01.2022 Great to have people walk all over you in a good way.

08.01.2022 Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing dise...ase. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort. Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year. https://youtu.be/H4x59iskLM0

06.01.2022 Last night we welcomed Bruce Kuhn and Sharon Styman to our meeting at Tweed Bowls Club, Tweed Heads. Sharon is the new elected Board Member of the Twin Towns Services Club and was accompanied to our meeting by David Phillips. Bruce, is a past President & past Secretary & Rotary member of Broadbeach Rotary Club and a serving member of the Coolangatta Police Force as an Inspector of the Patrol Group. Bruce was our guest speaker and enlightened us with his position in the force,... what is happening around us as citizens, the worthwhile endeavours of what Rotary contributes to the community, the impact of what the Corona Virus is causing in general and the uncertainty of concern between the 2 neighbouring states. We thanked Bruce & Sharon for attending our meeting. We are in attendance at Bunnings Burleigh on Saturday to host their sausage sizzle. See more

06.01.2022 To our loyal Car Boot Sale patrons, the May Car Boot is also cancelled, as was April, due to the virus and sanctions by State & Federal regulations. Once these are relaxed or removed, we will be back June or July. We will keep you up-to-date.

05.01.2022 Unfortunately Stocklands Burleigh Carboot Sale is cancelled until February 2021.

03.01.2022 Sausage Sizzle at Bunnings Robina Sunday 30th. After the morning crew went home, the afternoon crew commenced. The afternoon was a steady stream of patrons. Good day for the club. That makes 2 Bunning Stores in 3 weeks.

02.01.2022 Rotary Club of Currumbin Coolangatta Tweed Inc Changeover Dinner held COVID style tonight. Congratulations to incoming President, John Giuricin. Special mention to Rotarian Glen Rees, a Bilinga local who was recognised for his outstanding fund raising efforts.

02.01.2022 Went for a walk at Coolangatta early Sunday afternoon. Nostalgic car bonanza. Asked one of the drivers what was the occasion. The car enthusiasts decided to exhibit this week-end because Wintersun last week was cancelled, and Cooly-Rocks-On this weekend was cancelled too. Great afternoon if you are a car buff.

02.01.2022 Has anyone got a I Phone 6 cover that they no longer require for our Rotary Phone.
