of the email which included Jude wishing all Club members a Merry Xmas.

Thankyou Jude, a lovely sentiment.

Congratualtions to all involved in the 175th Anniversary Ball. The Clubs involved, in particular our

Club, received an Australia Day Award for combined club activity. And yes, our Pres was there to

collect the award and say a 'few' words, a copy of the QBN Age article below:

AustraliaDayaward- EventoftheYear

Paul Rogers accepts the Event of the Year Award on behalf of the Queanbeyan Combined Community

Service Club

QUEANBEYAN'S 175th Anniversary Ball has been named Event of the Year after providing punters

with an excuse to frock up and dance the night away.

The Ball was held at the Bicentennial Hall as part of Queanbeyan 175th birthday celebrations in

September 2013. The event raised more than $11,000 towards the construction of the new pavilion

at the Queanbeyan Showground. Jerrabomberra Rotary president Paul Rogers was on hand to

accept the award on Sunday.

"It was a very successful event. We had more than 300 people attend," he said.

"It went down very well, we had quite a number of people dress up in period costume and formal

attire. We had the Melbourne Cup there, entertainment by Smooth Ops and a silent auction.

"We also had a special medallion created for the event."

The award recognised the efforts of the Queanbeyan Combined Community Service Clubs which

consists of the Jerrabomberra Rotary, Queanbeyan West Rotary, Queanbeyan Masonic Lodge and

Queanbeyan Lions.

"The Ball was a very good example of team effort," Mr Rogers said.

"It shows just how much four community services groups can achieve together than one may by

oneself."

Thanks to Sue Roger for decorating.

Thankyou to Glenda who managed to source cheap flags to hand out to the

Also a special thanks to Peter who went back to check the venue after the church service and

discovered the door was open and despite assurances, the Church group hadnt put the tables

back.

Jan Pettigrew added a thanks to everyone for the help, it was a great Club turn out, very efficient

setup and clean up and the actual layout on the day was very good. Thanks to the cooks and the

people on the tea and coffee and drinks. Had a great morning and very positive vibes.

Regards the membership stand, Paul Robey received one enquiry from a 17yr old which he will

follow up and point in the right direction.

Pres had a great morning. According to the Pres, the layout just came together, however according

to his wife; she had a significant input into the layout. As usual, our Club just got into the day and

needed no guidance. Pres did remind the members that we spend quite a bit of money on our eqpt.

We need to be a little more careful with how we pack our gear. The covers for the gazebo are not

in the best condition.

decided he can no longer commit due to time away. He has now joined Probus

and his resignation was effective as of Aust Day.

Pam and Terry stayed with Gerry and Katherine overnight who sent their regards,

and advised that Club Members are welcome any time. Woo Hoo!! HotelMcNamara here we come!

Market Mistress: or was it Joker????

Chilly, Bruce and Anton are on the Markets this week. Chilly has water and

Ice.

It is here that things became a little hazy. Whilst people started talking

over the top of our Market Mistress, quick as a flash, Anne changed hats

and.

********************************************************************************************************************

asked Malcolm to draw the Joker and

Mrs Hunter told a very moving and

romantic joke!!! Malcolm drew Paul

Robey's ticket and Paul in turn drew

the 5 of hearts. Woo Hoo! The joker

lives another week! $32.00 was added

to the mysteriously unknown total for the joker.

***********************************************************************************************************************

and back to the Market Report:

From Mrs Hunter (with Market Mistress' permission): Be very wary of the crazy drivers, including

the turquoise van which constantly parks near the bollards and insists that some Club Members

allow him to park there.

Need to clarify that no-one is now allowed to park in the Market proper. Traders are to provide

trolleys etc for the patrons to transport large items to their cars.

SGT Fines:

Fines session this week started with the Pres, had a few fines in-between, another

couple for the Pres and finished with the Pres.

Stop Press: There was one last late fine to Sue Jarvis. Sue offered the use of her

Donger to put out the Aust Day BBQ signs, as the ground around Jerra is tough to

say the least. What we didn't realise until said Donger was handed over, was Sue

has actually written on the handle "Sue J's Donger"! We tried to pretty it up topresent back to Sue, however Sue had other ideas!

The Pres warned me not to lose Sue's Donger. No words needed Sue got the message!

Heads and Tails:

Attendance:

Attendance for tonight is 84%, and David advised that there was no point in

fudging the numbers as our fearless leader had no Port or Bailey's for his

faithful servants.

Members Contributions:

In Answer to my pleas, thankyou to Pres Paul for the article below and to Cathy Hobbs for sending

me the QBN Age link, and to Pres and Sue Roger and Sandra Robey, thankyou for the teasers fromthe weekend (sounds like a thankyou speech!). You all look like you had a great couple of days

away.

St Jude Update:

Members will recall the RAWCS trip in August 2010 and the

contribution our members were able to make to the School of St

Jude. Members also enjoyed the recent visit of Felix from the School

and the excellent presentation he gave in the School hall. Keeping

our contact with St Jude alive and well the club is currently

sponsoring a teacher at the school and Paul and Sue Roger continue

to sponsor the student they met in 2010. Paul and Sue recently

received an update photo of their student Dorcas and would like to

share it with members. Dorcas is now 5C at the Sisia Upper Primary

Campus at Moshono. The School recently enrolled another 150

bright students, who have just started their first year of primary

school. The school is also now only one year away from their first

secondary school graduation.

Dorcas Now this is what we are all about!


8/11

Lion King: The Lion King show was brilliant. Costume and acting were great. Everyone really

enjoyed it. Big thanks to Glenda for organising the weekend and great to see so many club

members enjoying themselves. Of course what goes on tour stays on tour so no anecdotes to tell.

Thanks Pres Paul, and I think the photos do help!

Not sure who the star of the show is! A certain young lady certainly starred!

Show? What Show? We are having too much fun!

Ah yes the show! and ice cream nom, nom, nom

OUR HISTORY

In 1998 the Rotary Clubs of Queanbeyan and Queanbeyan West Rotary decided to sponsor a new Rotary Club

based in Jerrabomberra. Bill Lilley, John Snedden and Peter Jarvis from Queanbeyan West took on the joint roll of

mentor (Peter Jarvis went on to become our Charter President).

Advertising for potential members began in March 1998. After a successful campaign, the Club was chartered on

18 November 1998 with 20 members. We are an unusual club as we have a very high proportion of female Members.

Initial meetings were held at the Jerrabomberra General Storethe venue was very good until we grew in

numbers. We then moved to the Jerrabomberra Community Centre for a few years. We now meet at the

Jerrabomberra Public School Staff Room, on Thursdays (6.15 for 6.30 pm). As at 26 Jan 2014 the Club has 26 members

11 female and 15 male. Included in this are seven married couples. We also have 4 supporters of the Rotary Club.

(Charter) President Peter Jarvis ran competitions to select a name for our Club bulletin and a design for the

Club banner. There were some good and (very) bad suggestions. Pam Spencer suggested the winning bulletin name;

Jerraganda. The banner design by David Stevens was eventually selected. The design incorporates a goose and the

windmill associated with the original entrance to the estate.

A lot of people are afraid of heights.

Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
