MESSAGE FROM SHIRLEY DELPRADO
Shirley Delprado has
been running the Rotary BBQ for some years but she feels concerned about
the support given from our Rotary Club.
The roster for the
BBQ should allow time for both Fellowship and Service. This week,
Strathfield Rotarians put their name on the roster for the Ashfield
Childrens Home but for whatever reasons members didn't turn up and
Shirley was left short of helpers.
Shirley asks for
everyone to honour their commitment and remember the Club is depending
on you. If you can't attend find someone else at least notify Shirley.
Shirley also asks you when was the last time you put your name on a
Service roster.
President Keith
provides a weekly message.
Just click
Keith's image.
It summarises the
Clubs activities over the preceding week and highlights issues that
should be drawn to members attention.

HISTORICAL MELBOURNE CUP: THE RESULTS
The running of the
Historical Melbourne Cup is now itself an historical event. It is
significant that there is no evidence that there has ever been a running of
the Historical Melbourne Cup. Strathfield Rotary has had a first. Now that
the event is over who won? There are full details about the night in a word
document (click
the Image). Besides a report on the night it includes the full place
listings as well as all the successful punters and the results of the
auctions too. I will list here only the result of what I called the
PolioPlus event
1st Rain Lover ridden by Joe Saad and won by
Thomas Kang
2nd Peter Pan ridden by Harley Tarrant and won by
Janelle Watson
3rd Galilee ridden by Bob Templeman and won by Igor
Kraly and Domenico Alvaro
Last Archer ridden by Terry Rohan and won by Ray
Wilson
