18.01.2022 Some tips for members prior to our first Zoom online meeting this coming Monday #adapt #connect #keepintouch #torquay #rotary #d9780

18.01.2022 The New Torquay Rotary Team for 2020-21 In a year when we have learned to do most things differently our Club was forced to hold a "Virtual" Function to celebrate the official change of office bearers.So having to adhere to the current Social Distancing rules we met in groups of 7 for lunch in Members homes with many other guests including Mayor Rose Hodge connecting in on ZOOM to join in the event. Out-going President Kelly Binyon recapped on the past year before handing ove...r the reins of the Club along with the Presidents Collar, Club Charter and the Rotary International 2020-21 Theme Banner to incoming President Jan Emmett. The Club pre-recorded a video of the induction of the new Board on the Torquay foreshore, which was played during the Zoom event. The video was fittingly recorded in front of the playground named in honour of Jans late husband Rob who had also been President of the Torquay Rotary Club back in 2001. We wish Jan and her Team the best for the coming year which will be exciting as the Club discovers new ways to function in a COVID world. #torquayrotary #rotarymoments #d9780 #rotaryopensopportunities

18.01.2022 Can you help? We are making facemasks that will be distributed through Portlands community health and support agencies to people who cannot get their own easi...ly. We will need help as we estimate we will need to make at least 1000. We are following the DHHS guidelines for masks and welcome help. This may be in the form of making some masks yourself or maybe just donating some material. If you dont have material but can sew, we need your help too. Please call Helen on 0417 012 552 or you can email us directly on [email protected]
