Presidents Report from Natalie Jupe
Hi Everyone, August is over, and I have been President for 2 months now my how the time flys. First and foremost Congratulations to Angie on winning a Bronze medal earlier this week in London This week saw us spend Saturday morning in Riverside Plaza for the launch of the 2013 Queanbeyan Relay for Life. We even got a photo in the paper see below. If you would like to participate in the event you can register a team of your own or join our team at http://relay.cancercouncil.com.au/2013/queanbeyan_2013/Rotary-Club-of-

Queanbeyan/
The Relay for Life committee is also looking for local businesses to donate prizes or become sponsors so if you know someone who can help, please put them in touch with us. Monday night saw Doug, Roni and I attend the NYSF Orientation Dinner. It is truly an amazing program. I was fortunate enough to be sitting with a young lady named Victoria and her Dad, Stu. She is going to the session in Perth and she is very excited. She has promised to get in touch with us upon her return so she can come and tell us all about her experience. For more information visit http://www.nysf.edu.au/ At this weeks meeting we are going to be having our Visioning follow up session. Lots of great ideas have been raised and now it is time to put some steps into place and plan how we can implement them. Dont forget next weeks meeting is a board meeting and we hope you can make it in your Footy Colours that night. Cheers, Natalie
