Greetings Fellows,
This week will be my first
Club Assembly and I am looking forward to a good attendance as this is your
opportunity to offer your input as to our Club’s direction for the coming
year.
“IT’S ON” – the District Golf Tournament.
Ray Wilson has had an idea to resurrect the District
Golf Tournament, and after some initial research Ray will mould this
tournament into a must for golfers each year. The basic format will be a
great social event but there will be some serious golf to be played with the
winner going home with the “John Taylor Memorial Trophy”. Congratulations
Ray, more social events such as this is what we need to “Celebrate Rotary”.
A reminder for your diaries is the visit to our club
from DG Lloyd Roever on the 21/7/2004. Lloyd will outline his vision for the
2004/2005 year and I am sure you will be interested in what he has to say.
Thanks go to our Conference Chairman, Ted Ingall. Ted
has begun initial negotiations for accommodation for the conference in
Canberra in March 2005 (18/3 – 20/3). Please give attending the conference
your serious consideration as this a great time to combine the important
time for Rotary with great fellowship and fun.
Our “Centenary of Rotary” celebrations on the 23rd
February 2005 should prove to be a great event. As we meet normally on that
night we have invited Burwood Club to join us at our own venue for the
evening.
My personal thanks go to Sal Tosto for accepting to be
Raffles Chairman again this year. As you know Sal has been extremely
generous with his time and donations of prizes over the last year. I would
like to ask all members for their assistance by offering donations of
prizes, no matter how small to lighten the load. I am sure we can all help
in some way.
It was pleasing to have such a good attendance at last
weeks meeting, thank you Fellows.
My appreciation goes to our new Bulletin Editor, Angelo
Franco. I know Angelo will continue to produce a quality bulletin for us
each week. If you have any items that you would like included in the
bulletin please send it to Angelo by Sunday evening to have included in that
weeks bulletin.
“MORE NEXT WEEK”
President Keith
