President Themba presented a cheque for $2,000 to Haydon Smith of the Burnie Surf Lifesaving Club, saying that this was the outcome of a presentation to the Rotary Club in March by Stuart Payne (President of Surf Life Saving Tasmania) and Shane Askew (President of Burnie Surf Lifesaving Club).

Haydon thanked the club and said this money would mean the Surf Club is close to being able to purchase a new IRB (Inflated Rescue Boat) to replace their very old boat. These days, an IRB costs around $19,000 – without the motor!
