Rotary Club of Strathfield
President's Blueprint
Wednesday 18 July 2007
Thank you to my Board Members for last week’s informative presentations A most informative presentation last week from Telstra’s Simira Semaan and Karen Ganschow on the fast moving technological changes in telecommunications. I realise we finished the meeting a little later than normal; however I felt that the topic was well worth it.
Our exchange student Laura will be in Mudgee with Janet and I from Thursday 12/7 to Saturday 14/7.where we will be enlightening her on the benefits of country living (a visit to the annual Mudgee Small Farm Field Days). We intend showing Laura the sights of Katoomba on the way. On the Saturday morning we will travel on to Coolah, the home of the black stump, where we will be staying with friends on their sheep and cattle property. Sunday will see us travelling back home, knowing Laura will have experienced, if somewhat briefly, some of what is commonly referred to as the Australian Outback.
