President George's
27 July 2005
This week we welcome District Governor Bill Little and his wife, Irene, to our Club. DG Bill is no stranger to the Strathfield area having been in management positions with Arnotts Biscuits for many years. He brings a great wealth of Rotary experience to our meeting having among other things served on District committees for the past 15 years. Bill and Irene have travelled widely and we look forward to our District Governor’s address.
Last week we learned a little of the art of skywriting form John O’Grady and the trials and tribulations attached thereto, including some very unusual messages. John claims 100% success rate in marriage proposals.
Your Board met last week and had a frank and, I believe, meaningful discussion on various aspects of our Rotary life, such as fund raising with some new ideas as well as the true and tested ones suggested. Our rather less than perfect attendance record was also address and a suggestion made to try for a little more variety in our meetings with job talks etc. Not forgetting the important role that fellowship plays in being a Rotarian.
The Carols by Candlelight in Strathfield Park will be held on December 10 this year with a similar format to last year. The committee led by Keith Byrn will be liaising with Strathfield Council.
Again thanks to Peter Foss and his team for their efforts in promoting the Trivia Quiz on August 12. It is shaping up to be a great night.
Till next week, enjoy Rotary
President George
