Members attended RARE, Rotary Australia Repurposing Equipment, on Saturday 7 February, to assist with container packing, sorting books and other goods. It was a hot but satisfying and worthwhile morning. Thank you to President Cypriano, PE Wendy, PP Eric, PP Lester, new member Eric Rug1amba B. Kagorora for supporting this very worthy endeavour. PP Terry N Camilla, a Rotary Nomad were also in attendance. Overall we certainly made a difference. RARE is a very worthy cause helping people who are less fortunate than us in Nations all around the Globe. During the 2025 year more than 40 shipping containers of desks, uniforms, books, hospital supplies and wheel chairs were despatched overseas. RARE operates each Thursday and Saturday mornings (except during holidays) from premises at MacArthur Street, Alexandra Hills QLD 4161 and volunteers are always welcome.

Today marks 24 years since The School of St Jude welcomed its first students.

From humble beginnings, St Jude’s continues to provide free, quality education to 1,800 primary and secondary students, alongside ongoing support for graduates through tertiary education.

With this milestone, we want to take a moment to reflect on the determination and belief that has shaped the school over the years, and to thank all of the supporters who have walked this journey with us.

Thank you for helping turn hope into opportunity and for continuing to stand with our students as they build brighter futures.

Special thanks go to our Presiding Officer, Julie-Ann Campbell, MP for Moreton. We also wish to acknowledge and thank Councillor Steve Griffiths Moorooka Ward, Rotary Area Governor Craig Carson, Zaffar's staff, AEC Officers, the amazing performers and Rotary members and friends for all their support. Thanks as well go to Souths Sports Club for use of their facilities and provision of the delightful morning tea. Another great event showcasing how Rotary Archerfield and the community can !

Yesterday, Thursday 22 January we held our first evening meeting under the meeting trial that has been adopted for the balance of this Rotary year. Our meeting was at 6.30 pm at our normal venue, Souths Sports Club. It was an auspicious occasion with DG Mark Williams attending. It was great to hear from our DG. Another highlight was the induction of our newest and youngest member, Eric Kagorora by DG Mark. Eric is a cultural performer and entertainer and is well versed in Digital marketing and film making. Eric is a great addition to our membership and we look forward to his valuable input to our club. Our meeting was attended by 9 members, 2 partners, DG Mark and Area Governor Craig. It was a great way to start 2026.

Past Rotary International President and Chair of The Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees, Holger Knaack was visiting Queensland, and District 9620. The event was 'Christmas among the Kangaroos' - a delicious cold cut Christmas lunch to show Holger and his wife how Christmas is celebrated in Queensland.
A great day of Rotary fellowship.

Camilla and I had a wonderful 5 days at the International Convention in Calgary. We enjoyed browsing the House of Friendship, meeting up with old friends and making new as we looked at the many activities of Rotary Clubs worldwide. The Opening cerenony, general sessions and closing ceremony had inspiring speakers. The evening entertainment was very enjoyable. As we travel back to Australia we ponder all we have learnt - an inspiring experience.
