President George's
Wednesday 31 May 2006
Tonight we welcome the GSE team to Thailand. We congratulate them on being chosen to represent their profession in a Rotary program that spreads so much good will around the world. We look forward to hearing their story, one that I am sure will be remembered by all for a very long time.
Last weeks talk on remedial work and future development of the Rhodes Peninsular was impressive in its scale and was of great interest to all present, but especially to Rotarians who have been conversant with the area for many years. What a change! The price of $1 for the land seemed to be a bargain of all time, until the cost of soil remediation and general clean up was taken into account. A massive job but one that will surely be of benefit to all.
The Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal last Sunday was very successful in the Strathfield Municipality. I think a total of 19 Rotarians and or partners took part. Your board last week agreed to donate $1,000.00 to kick start the Appeal. The money from the Appeal all goes to the Salvos Social Welfare Program.
As of Monday morning the total amount collected was approaching the target of $20,000.00, which is a very good result.

Until next week
Enjoy Rotary,
President George
