RAFFLE Please remember to continue selling the raffle tickets. So far we have received back over 25 books that have been sold giving us over $500. New Gen has decided to take 10 books and sell them. Great to see us working together. At $2.00 a ticket with two cars as prizes they are easy to sell. Just ask your friends and relatives. If you are having any trouble selling the tickets contact Russell Warmington to get ideas on the best method. As you sell a book please bring it back with the money and give to Russell. BUNNINGS SAUSAGE SIZZLE DAYS Thanks to Russell, Dick Tregear, James Tan, Harvey, Les, Neil, Wendy, Sue W, Bev Hoskins, Bob3, and Di, who all helped at the sizzle on October 17th. Even though it was not a great day weather wise, we made a profit of $605.00. A great effort. As our club does an excellent job in supporting Bunnings, they occasionally give us extra days. This Saturday 2nd November, they have asked to full if for them as another group has pulled out. Thanks to all those who have offered help during my phone around. It should be a great day. Dates for future Bunnings Sausage Sizzles Saturday 2nd November Thursday 21st November Thursday 19th December Thursday 15th January 2020 Monday 27th January 2020 Then every third Thursday of the month Our November 21st Sausage Sizzle will be dedicated to helping the farmers through a campaign by the Rotary Clubs of Australia. This is an Australian wide campaign with all Rotary Clubs participating. As you can see we will need some extra help the weekend before Christmas. A fantastic opportunity for the club to raise extra funds for our projects. The weekend before Christmas is traditionally a huge weekend at Bunnings so we will need as many helpers as possible. Please keep these dates with in mind with your other activities, so we are able to continue to take advantage of the support Bunnings gives to the Rotary Club of Nunawading.

xchange student spoke at the club recently about her exchange to Germany back in 2015. Grace spoke about her experience of a lifetime at the age of 16 living in the small town of Telgte, Germany, located just outside the city of Münster (In the North West of Germany). In her time, she stayed with four host families, attended school and travelled all around Europe, even studying Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre, London. Grace also talked about what it meant to come home after exchange and going back to school. She talked about what she has done in the almost 5 years since her return, graduating a scholar of distinction, attending University, part-time jobs and where she hopes to see herself in the future. In all this she spoke about how her exchange made all her achievements possible, how she had to learn how to be confident, adaptive, independent and responsible and all the ways she has used these skills. She also spoke about the friends from her exchange who have come to Australia to visit and even stay with her and her family.
