Club Changeover

As I am doing the bulletin, as filling in for Kisa for this week only....... I get to do the stories....lol..... So this past weekend we had our Club Changeover at The Red Shed, Drury. Was a lovely brunch & weather stayed nice for us to sit outside. Made doing a few speeches much easier.

Our outgoing President Fiona, was incoming President as Fi......(lol) Know she is looking forward to her FULL year as President. We met the new/old team & at the end I had a few words to say as outgoing Conference Chair. (OMG, even writing that is awesome...lol)

So I was able to give the team all certificates of thanks, as what a wonderful team I had. We showed how a small but mighty club could do an amazing conference, with little help in the end. To end I presented our now IPDG Steve with a Diamond Art picture, I had done in my spare time....he he. The photo was taken at District Changeover, when he began his journey as DG for the 2021-2022 Rotary Year. I hope that he can look at this & remember his year with much pride.

School Holiday WORK

The things you do during school holiday's, which for the Jaggs family started a week earlier than everyone else.......

For the 1st week back at school, Izzy & her art partner, have to complete their Egyptian Wearable Arts costume. So we had to do a headpiece for Izzy. Amazing what you can find on UTube to help you think of what to do. So Izzy did all the bead work, & Mummy helped with the glue gun. I can tell you there were MANY naughty words spoken that afternoon, as I think I burnt nearly every finger........ Worth it though as think the outcome is something we can both be proud of.

Please note this is also only one part of costume.....hmmmmmmm lots more work to do!

The Power of the Positive!

I’ve spent five days of learning and professional development in steamy Darwin and my take home message is about influencing the life journey of a troubled child. I was at the International Foster Care Organisation Conference which was attended by over 600 people who are involved in the out-of-home-care sector. There were children and young people with their carers, youth who have transitioned out of care, foster carers, social workers, psychologists, doctors, and leaders. Many of the adults, like myself, have experienced foster care in some form or other.
