President George's
3 August 2005
What a great pleasure it was to welcome District Governor Bill Little and his charming wife Irene to our meeting last week. Bill spelt out his aims for the year and left us with some challenges that I am sure we will rise to. DG Bill was already acquainted with many of our members and I think quite at home at the Rotary Club of Strathfield. We will certainly do our best to meet and maybe exceed the targets set for us.
ADG Peter Davidson and Coral accompanied the Governor. Peter is responsible for 3 Clubs – Strathfield, Burwood and Concord, so we welcome Peter from time to time to our meetings.
We also had the pleasure of watching a video of Bike the Park made by Cheryl Ayres. It brought back to life some magic moments of a major fund raiser in PP Keith Byrne’s year and was very professionally produced. Thanks go to Rod McDougal and Bradley Ayres for their help. Especial thanks to Cheryl for such a great job. Suggestions are now flowing as to what other events should be filmed for posterity
Clarrie Edwards a Past President of this Club and Strathfield’s longest serving Mayor had a brain tumour removed last week. The operation was successful and Clarrie is now recuperating at home. We wish him good health and happiness for the future and have sent along some flowers to let him know that we were thinking of him.
Shirley is organising a night out to see Menopause the Musical at Star City. The comedy has played to rave reviews in New York and in Melbourne. A commitment sheet will be circulated tonight.
We hope that the information inside last week’s bulletin cover was correct. Please let Roger know of any alterations required.
‘Till next week,
enjoy Rotary
President George
