It was a balmy evening and a glittering night.  Marking two centenaries, guests respectfully remembered the sinking of the Titanic while celebrating the launching of the Cartela.  Members of the Rotary Club of Hobart transformed the Cartela into a grand dining room, and offered Titanic themed items for a fundraising auction.  Captain Smith, also known as our Lord Mayor, Damon Thomas, welcomed one hundred guests dressed for the times of 1912, to the Captain’s reception .  Then with the help of MC John X, entertainer extraordinaire, guests were treated to a formal, four course dinner.  Captain Smith performed a ‘marriage’ and provided a history commentary on the events of April 14th, 100 years ago.

Funds raised, all of which will be reinvested into our local and international community, amounted to $11.000.

 

An even better Rotary Club of Hobart Art Show will be held later this year, 10–12 August, at the Wrest Point Convention Centre. After the popularity and success of recent Shows, the 2012 Show will expand to a second display area. Hanging art will be exhibited in the Boardwalk Gallery, while larger 3D pieces, such as furniture and sculpture, will be set up in the adjacent Wellington Room.

Invitations to exhibit in the 2012 Rotary Club of Hobart Art Show will be available soon. Past exhibitors will be sent a letter with their entry form. We invite anyone who would like to be included in the Show, especially artists of sculpture, wood work, metal, furniture, and larger pieces, to contact us to be included in the invitation to exhibit.

We are looking forward to hosting a vibrant, exhilarating Show for you. Come join us.
