In celebration of her heritage and for the love of her country Kylie, International Service Chair, hosted an Australia Day BBQ this past Sunday. Shrimp and snags (sausages) were thrown on the barbie, vegemite sandwiches were on offer, and a taste of kangaroo was offered up (seriously!) alongside some Fosters and some very decent Australian wine. The holiday was interesting to most native Americans, as while they celebrate their national holiday on the day they kicked the British out, Australia celebrates the day they arrived! Kylie was forgiven for this however as the night wound up with a viewing of the Australian film, The Castle, and an education in dry Australian humour. Happy Australia Day to all!

Big “Night 2009″ was another huge success. The evening was really amazing and the acceptance speeches from the five recipients were very touching. Rotary really appreciated our help with registering guests and with alcohol and photo sales. Kim had a great time helping Brian Otis (Marketing, UCD Athletics) with the live auction. After dinner, the program and the auction, the four girls got down with our bad selves on the dance floor (Agnieszka, Kylie, Akiko, Kim)! Once Marisa Schaffer (co-chair of BIG Night) sends out the final report of the funds raised, Dave Cruz (chair of Club Development for Rotary) will send this information out to everyone. Please see the photos below for Rotaracters in action!
For those Rotaracters who could not make it, sorry to have missed you at the event.
