Our first meeting back on zoom and it was terrific to have 33 people attend, it was great to see Warwick Heil from Queensland join us & also John Steven. The upside from the Pandemic is our ability to adapt and embrace zoom meeting, enabling our members who might not be able to make face to face meeting still being able to participate and be an important part of our Rotary meetings
