Dear members and friends of the Rotary Club of Sydney Darling Harbour,
Happy new year! I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and has helped ensure that 2021 was thoroughly searched before it left the building. I know we often say the years go by quickly and we’re ringing in the New Year too early, but I can’t imagine anyone being of that view when it comes to 2021.
Speaking of last year, a big “thank you” to everyone who was able to help out at the Uniting Harris Community Centre BBQ. This was a challenging one, with the bulk of our volunteers having to pull out on the morning of the event due to a COVID contact. In spite of that, we were able to raise funds of almost 600 dollars to support our worthwhile causes in the year ahead.
As with previous years, January will have informal meetings. Due to the fourth Wednesday of January falling on Australia Day, we will only be having one meeting this month. These will be in-person only and will not be accessible via Zoom. Details are below, and I hope to see you there.

Final Thoughts
In the past, the soccer balls were brown or white. The black pentagons were introduced for television at the 1970 World Cup to show viewers the position and rotation of the ball on black and white television.
Well, that’s it from me. Don’t forget that our next meeting is scheduled for 7.30AM on Wednesday the 12th of January at the Grounds of the City. For more information, please visit https://rotarydarlingharbour.org.au/events/club-meeting-12-1-2022/
Until next week,
Drew Sturgiss
