ANNOUNCEMENTS, CORRESPONDENCE, REPORTS
Pres Sue opened the meeting by sharing a picture of our own Rucina taken in 1977. Rucina came to Bali over 30 years ago to study Balinese dance and never left and aren’t we glad for that! Bruce’s’ comment on the picture…”That’s one hot babe!”

Lots of good news announcements…Sue Bennett has a Paul Harris pin waiting for her in Bali. Pres Sue is looking forward to the honor of presenting it upon Sue Bs return to Bali at the end of this month.
Wh


Yet another totally exciting piece of news. RCBUS was invited to submit a proposal to the USA based Mel Wolf Foundation. This Foundation’s focus is “enhancing opportunities for women and children in need. “ It was a bit of a scramble with e-mails flying between Dr, Mandy Brauer, Mel Wolf Foundation Trustee in Cairo Egypt, Pres Sue in Bali and Marilyn in California. The proposal was submitted to the Foundation and last week we received the good news from Dr. Mandy. FUNDING APPROVED! The Mel Wolf Foundation will make it possible for the club to provide books and basic health information to up to 14 schools in the Payangan area of Bali. Thanks to Dr. Mandy for giving us the opportunity and for guidance in preparing the proposal.



GUEST SPEAKER
Peter Dunbar-Hall, Associate Professor, University of Sydney Conservatory of Music, talked to us about how he worked with undergraduate and graduate students connecting them to diverse cultures through music.
