16 July 2003
What happened to the week, it just seemed like a few days ago we were last here.
Last week, on behalf of D G Warwick Tester, I announced that the District was having an information night on Thursday 10 July to provide interested Rotarians with information about a District Governor’s role. When I was speaking to the District Governor on Friday he said “no one turned up” which surprised me, I thought there would be someone in the District that would be interested.
Also, last week you will recall I announced that there will be a District Leadership information night at Rooty Hill Convention Centre on Friday 15 August at 6.30 p.m. This is not a recruitment night but an opportunity for people to learn and gain knowledge about the workings of various Rotary committees at the District level.
A topic discussed at our recent Board meeting related to “late apologies” and “non apologies”. Members are reminded that “Apologies” must be received by Eric Khu on 9746 0397 by midday on Tuesday. This is necessary to conform to the requirements of the caterer. Apologies received after midday on Tuesday result in reordering meal numbers and in some cases may not be communicated at all.
“Non apologies” often result in the club having to pay for the meal of members who don’t turn up. Members need to remember that their meal was ordered the previous day and therefore we have committed to pay for it.
On the subject of paying for things, half yearly Club dues of $110 (incl. GST) are payable now. It would be appreciated if members could pay as soon as possible as the Club is required to pay District and Rotary International dues by the end of this month.
Tonight there is no guest speaker scheduled however I look forward to listening to 2 of our members speak to us about their respective vocations.
