Greetings Fellows,
Unfortunately last week our guest speaker had to cancel at short notice.
Richard Horwood improvised with an entertaining job talk from himself and
Warren Abbott.
I would
like to give praise to my Board who are all carrying out invaluable tasks
within their individual portfolios.
Connie’s
announcement that John Brogden will be guest speaker at the upcoming “Pride
of Workmanship” awards will inject a great deal of interest and I feel that
we will once again have a full house and a successful night.
Kevin
Beltrame has again excelled with his wonderful work as Youth Director. Kevin
and his team successfully transported all of the students to Richmond last
Friday for the RYPEN camp. Thanks also go to Euan Watson for volunteering as
a driver.
We as a
Board have decided to purchase a number of raffle prizes for our weekly
raffle. I feel that the responsibility to provide raffle prizes on a weekly
basis is too big an ask for a small group of people as well as to provide
something interesting each week. So fellows get your small change ready
because I feel sure that you will want to buy a few more tickets each week
when the raffle prizes are announced.
On the
subject of raffles thank you to Tony Lanzafame and Paul Giammarco for coming
up with raffle prizes at the eleventh hour last week. Thanks boys.
I would
like to remind Members who have not yet signed their Child Protection forms
that it is mandatory for any Member who is involved in any activities
involving under 18 year olds that they must have signed this declaration.
Please
make this a “must do” as District will soon be asking me to report on
numbers of signatures
“MORE NEXT WEEK”
and until then, LET’S CELEBRATE ROTARY,
President Keith
