It's a happy day when Sue Jellis, Merimbula Rotary and Liz Bellette-Stubbs, Pambula Rotary can be close enough to hold a cheque for $2,000! Both Rotary Clubs wish to thank everyone for supporting this year's International Women's Day event that raised $2,000 for Bushfire Recovery in the Bega Shire.

There was a good turn out to Rotary's International Women's Day 2020, March 6th at the Merimbula RSL Club.  Our guest speaker, Dr Sandra Cabot, gave a very informative and entertaining talk.  Dr Cabot pioneered the detox and cleanse paradigm and is well known for her book, The Liver Cleansing Diet. In addition to conducting health seminars around the world and maintaining active medical practices, Dr Cabot uses her own aircraft to provide free transport for patients with severe disabilities in remote Australian areas. 
 
Sophie Longden was Master of Ceremonies from the ABC, Marna Smith gave a presentation of her new film, and the 2020 local Woman of Substance Award for this year's event was presented to Sonia Teston from Merimbula Marine Rescue - a very well deserved award, congratulations Sonia!
 
All monies raised from the sale of Dr Cabot's books, at the end of the event, will be assigned to the Bushfire Relief/Recovery Fund in the Bega Valley Shire as determined by the three Sapphire Coast Rotary Clubs.  Thank you, Dr Cabot, for your generosity.  We have all learnt something from her presentation and look forward to reading her books.
 
If you or your family and friends would like to make a donation to the Bushfire Relief/Recovery Fund, the link to donate is shown below.  Donations are tax deductible.
 
A big thank you to the RSL Club for the delicious meal and to the organisers.  Everyone, had a very enjoyable day.
