Stand-in Sergeant John C. introduced President "Rampant Robyn" to the 23 members present.
As per the story above it was a landmark meeting and it is very sad that it has come to this, but we are all in uncharted waters and no doubt every single member would expect us all to do whatever is appropriate to minimise, and hopefully eliminate, every potential risk.
Claire Lucas, Sam's sister, has recently returned from Madagascar where she spent 2 and 1/2 months assisting Sam and his team move to the next ONJA phase. It was amazing to see the 20 students progressing so well. They are an exceptionally hard working and studious group of students who are now all fluent in the English Language. They are now undergoing Accent Training and have started Coding training. Claire is hopeful of returning in October and we look forward to further ONJA updates. 
Apart from being stand-in Sergeant, in Miles absence, John C was the Snap Chatter on the day. John has been a member of the club for 24 years and is the proud recipient of a Paul Harris Fellow & Sapphire Pin. He is now retired and looking forward to spending more time with family and especially his 8 grand children. His passion is sports, primarily Athletics and Cycling. Thanks for the up-date John and keep those two wheels upright!!
Although time was tight John managed a shortened Sergeants session and collected $83. John also advised that to date this Rotary Year, the Sunshine Fund has collected $2,937 and $2,326 has been distributed.
