PARTY FOR ST PATRICK'S DAY

Rotary Club of North Hobart members have been working hard on many different projects recently, so a break for socialising was programmed for St Patrick's Day. The scene was set with President Brian's magnificent photos from his most recent trip to Ireland. We also thank Mark Heyward (musician) and Marilyne Jackson (dancer) for entertaining us and Paddy McGroarty for donating the booklets containing words of Irish songs. Rotarians came dressed appropriately with an array of green and flashes of orange featuring in the costumes chosen. Paul Guo took more than a hundred photos, from which we are proud to share below. Thank you, Paul.

WeLCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBERS

The Rotary Club of North Hobart's Strategic Plan, published in 2020, set an ambitious goal that we should grow by ten members each year. We inducted Effie Flaskas in June last year, then Pam Dennis and Kitty Kruup in August and Hilde de Bruto, Jeff Blakeley, Marnie Hill, Louise Bloomfield and Paul Daniels in the month of February. We may reach the target of ten yet! It is our aim to keep up the diversity in our club so that we all have interesting conversations and fellowship during meetings.

farewell to the har wee yee

When we heard the news that the club's much-loved home away from home, the Har Wee Yee Restaurant, was closing, our club decided to have our end of year celebration there. A wonderful Chinese banquet enabled many club members to come together and enjoy fellowship and wonderful service. Besides our own Lucky Door Prize, Ruby and Trevor also gave four prizes out themselves, all of which were won by Rotarians. The end of an era!

Just a few taste sensations of the bountiful feast:

Thank you to the Lee family for the warm hospitality over 52 years. Our club presented Ruby and Trevor with a bouquet of flowers, but unfortunately things were so busy at that point we could not get a picture for posterity.
