Hello fellows
Many thanks to President Elect, Keith Byrn for sitting in and running the meeting for me tonight. This was due to my interstate travel commitments that prevented me from arriving prior to our scheduled meeting time.
Secretary Kevin Freund had a busy Rotary week last week, attending two different Rotaract meetings, one on Wednesday at Prospect and another on Thursday night at Penrith.
Thanks also to Shirley Del Prado, Brian and Janet Johnson who travelled to Dural on Sunday to hand out flyers for our “Bike the Park” fundraiser on 2 May your assistance with this task was appreciated. Dural was the start / finish location for the “Tour de Hills” bike ride organised by the Rotary Club of Castle Hill in which Stephen and Adrian Taylor, Rod McDougall, Lillian Stockall and myself participated.
Last Friday night Past President Stephen and Denise Taylor attended a welcome BBQ for the GSE team that arrived from Houston on Friday morning. The team is made up of 3 girls and the team leader.
Last Saturday President Elect, Keith Byrn attended president elect training at Meridian School. I trust Keith found the day worthwhile in preparing for his year.
After the meeting tonight there will be a Directors Board meeting. One of the items of business will be consideration of a Rotary centenary project.
Finally a reminder, for those members who have committed to assist at the Meriden Interact dance which is this Friday night 12 March, at 6.30 p.m.
Have a good week.
Keith
