09.01.2022 The times they are a-changing! For the first time in Rotarys 115-year history, a woman has been named Rotary International president-nominee. The inspiring Jen...nifer Jones, a member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, Canada, has been nominated to become RI president for 2022-23, a selection that will make her the first woman to hold this office. A current Rotary Foundation trustee, Jennifer has been a member since 1997 and has served Rotary as vice president, director, training leader, committee chair, moderator, and district governor. We were fortunate enough to have Jennifer as our keynote speaker at the South Pacific Presidents Elect Training Seminar in Auckland, NZ, earlier this year, where she won over every seat in the house with her captivating storytelling, compassion and vivacious energy. Congratulations Jennifer and well done. We cant think of a more fitting leader to carry us into 2022-23. Photos: @rhysmartinphotographer

09.01.2022 Wednesday night we had the pleasure of collaborating with Rapid Media in a project that gave young people the gift of surfing. Vaughan OConnor is the Managing ...Director of Rapid Media who spent the first 20 years of his life in Ulverstone. Vaughan shared how as a young boy, one of his fathers friends gifted him a surf board and how this changed his life forever! Now a few years later, he wanted to pay it forward to a new generation and hopes that this will inspire and change the lives of these young people just like it changed his. Unfortunately Vaughan was not able to make the event due to Covid-19, however there to make the presentations were his parents Brendan and Anne. Vaughan is also one of our sponsors for Doors to Mentors, so although he no longer is based locally on the Central Coast of Tassie he is still one of our communities champions. Thank you Vaughan, for your contribution to the young people in our community and thank you Brendan and Anne for your support on the night.

09.01.2022 STAGE 1 INSTALLED TODAY Beach to Bush Bollard Beautification Project ... The Penguin 7 Day Makeover Team is thrilled to unveil the first stage of its creative and colourful community art project completed in conjunction with talented Penguin District School Primary students . Earlier in the year the Penguin 7 Day Makeover Committee was the grateful recipient of a grant from the Tasmanian Community Fund to continue improvements and beautification in and around Penguins CBD . This provided our team with the opportunity to engage with local PDS students through an art project to dress up the bollards in front of the pharmacy and bank on the Main Road . The design brief of Beach to Bush what Penguin means to me , was embraced by students with 15 children submitting wonderful drawings reflecting what this idea meant to them. Their amazing A3 sized artworks were scanned and transferred to vinyl wraps by the team at D-Signs . Today the first stage of this project was installed on the bollards outside the Penguin Pharmacy. In June, as a lovely kind gesture of thanks, Joe and the team at Penguin Pharmacy, presented all participating student artists with a gift bag of goodies to acknowledge their creative efforts . We look forward to revealing the final stage of this project when the bollards near the Commonwealth Bank are completed . Thank you kids - they look amazing and will bring so much joy to everyone in our community. We look forward to seeing and reading what Penguin means to you . Big thanks to Tas Community Fund for helping us bring this to life .

04.01.2022 Police are urging Tasmanians to take note of forecast weather warnings, with wet and icy conditions likely across the state overnight and tomorrow. The Bureau o...f Meteorology has issued warnings for road users and bushwalkers, and we need people to heed that advice. Wet conditions and ice and snow are on the way, which means our roads will be slippery and motorists will need to be extremely cautious. Strong and icy winds will also pose a serious risk to bushwalkers, so please reconsider if you were planning on doing a walk over the next few days. Police need Tasmanians to be sensible and to do what they can to keep themselves safe in these conditions. If youre travelling on the roads, remember: Never drive faster than the speed limit, and if conditions are wet, dark or frosty, slow down and travel at a speed that allows plenty of time to stop quickly and safely. Leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front. Be aware roads can become slippery so drive accordingly. Dont allow distractions like mobile phones to affect your judgement and reaction times. Make sure you turn your headlights on if its dark, or visibility is poor. To stay up to date on road closures, check our Community Alerts at https://www.police.tas.gov.au/community-alerts/
