Greetings Fellows,
My main focus this week is to
bring everyone’s attention to attendance or more accurately to the lack of
attendance along with the growing numbers of non apologies.
My attention has been once
again drawn to this topic by one of our senior members, and I must agree
that I promised to “bite the bullet” and do something to correct this area
some time ago.
As the year has progressed and
I have become busier than expected, I have not given attendance the time
that it deserves.
This week we have a Board
meeting and attendance will be the major point of discussion at this meeting
to see what we can come up with to encourage Members to make an effort to
attend as required. After all we became Members of this great organisation
not only for fellowship but to serve Rotary and to follow Rotary beliefs.
There are certain rules and
regulations that cover attendance and these must be observed. If it becomes
necessary I will follow these to the “nth degree”.
I would however prefer to keep
harmony within the Club and have Members reminded of their responsibilities
and save any embarrassment by having to enforce these rules.
I invite Members to contact me
if they have something to contribute and through the Board we will try to
rectify this problem.
Please Fellows give this your
full attention!
Strathfield Club currently has
the lowest attendance percentage in the District. Are you embarrassed? – I
AM.
Fellows I ask you to also
check your bulletins for the dates of upcoming events and support those
fellow Members who put a great amount of time and effort into the planning
and running of these events and making them successful.
That’s all for now,
“MORE NEXT WEEK”
and until then, LET’S
CELEBRATE ROTARY – TOGETHER.
President Keith
