Six members of the club spent half of the long weekend with several other Rotarians at the District conference in Ulladullah. Our contingent included Jonathan Lyall providing a motivational presentation and stand on the DreamCricket program, which will hopefully lead to further expansion and more schools participating.
The motivational speakers included Sarah Brown, from the Purple House (https://www.purplehouse.org.au/), Winter Olympic gold medal winner Stephen Bradbury and General Sir Peter Cosgrove (retired) and several others. We heard from our wonderful Youth Exchange students, and the winner of the 4 Way Test student speaking competition. These, along with several other interesting speakers, a Roaring 20's dinner and raising around $3,000 for replanting at Noel Butler's bushfire ravaged property, Nura Gunyu, an Aboriginal education and cultural teaching property in nearby Milton (see here for more information) made it a very rewarding weekend.
Overall a motivational weekend, with good learning and networking.
