Greetings Fellows,
What a wonderful night we had
last week at the combined Strathfield Council & Rotary Youth Awards.
We certainly have some talented
and dedicated young people in our community.
I feel that we have not heard
the last of these young folk.
I am certain that some of them
will be future Leaders in their respective vocations.
Our thanks go to those who
helped to make the night the success that it was, especially Kevin Beltrame
and Marisa Luongo from Strathfield Council.
Marisa is the Community worker
and Awards Coordinator for the Council.
Last week in the bulletin there
was a flyer enclosed reminding everyone that our major fundraiser, the “WSFM
Bike the Park” event is only two weeks away.
On the back of the flyer was the
roster for the day. Could everyone please check the roster and contact your
respective team leaders if you or your partner are unable to attend on the
day.
Also if anyone is able to
promote the bike ride at their place of work please see Rod or Euan who will
give you posters to do so.
Thank you everyone, your support
is needed to make this day run smoothly.
A reminder to all that there is
an Anzac Day breakfast at Cape Cabarita at 8.00am on the Monday 25th. Please
see further on in the bulletin for more details.
On a more serious note I was
sent an email from Shirley Del Prado after she visited a Rotary Club in Wagga
last Monday evening. Shirley was visiting at the invitation of the President
and his wife.
The reception that Shirley has
said that she was given was most “unRotarian” to say the least.
There is a copy of Shirley’s
email included in this bulletin.
I have responded to Shirley’s
request to contact the President formally so that he can, at this weeks
meeting, discuss this behaviour with the club members who were involved.
I have had a reply from the
President, Bruce Duffy, who assures us that he will handle the matter in the
proper manner.
We await his further reply.
We also welcome Shirley back to
our meetings this week as her work in Wagga has finished.
That’s all for now so,
“LET’S CELEBRATE ROTARY”
President Keith
