President 2007-8
Rotary Club of Strathfield
President's Blueprint
Wednesday 8 August 2007
Judging by District Governor Jennifer Scotts’ presentation and comments at last weeks meeting she seemed happy with our clubs’ progress and fairly full program for the remainder of the year. D G Jennifer was able to provide us with copies of this years District Directory and some copies of the first District Newsletter for the year. If any Rotariansrequire a copy of the newsletter please contact me and I will email it to you.
Thanks to PP Rod McDougall for his excellent PR work in providing articles in the August edition of the “Strathfield Scene”. For those who have not yet received a copy of that local newspaper, Rod covered:-
Club changeover, including upcoming events.
Advertising of our Pride of Workmanship Awards.
Last years ‘financial support’ of local schools.Keeping Strathfield residents informed of Rotary projects and our valuable work in the community is most important.
A reminder that the Rotary Youth Exchange Program allows students the opportunity of exposure to different cultures, while affording students in their host schools, and members of their host families and Rotary Club, with excellent opportunities to learn local customs, languages, traditions and family life in another country. I hope you will not miss out on spending time with our exchange student, Laura, during her stay. Did you know that the Youth Exchange Program began in 1927 with the Rotary Club of Nice, France.!!
I look forward this Wednesday night to another great presentation from the Strathfield Girls School pupils involved in the Literature Extension Program.
LAURAS’ CULTURAL EXPERIENCE Saturday 4/8 - Visited Featherdale Farm with the Johnsons to see kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and koalas. - Movies on Saturday night with Shirley Del-Prado. Monday 6/8 - Meriden school exams commence.
Remember “Service Above Self”.
President Brian
