Greetings Fellows,
Last weeks visit by DG Lloyd Roever was well received
with Lloyd outlining his plans for the coming year. The main feature of
Lloyds address was to emphasize the importance of all of us supporting the
Rotary Foundation & Health Research.
I am sure that we will have no
difficulty in supporting these worthwhile causes.
On Thursday evening Sue & I along with other members of
Strathfield Club attended a dinner at Parramatta Leagues Club to honour
Harley Tarrant. It was pleasing to see Strathfield so well represented.
I might add that the night was a sellout, a testament
to Harley’s popularity.
Our Conference Chairman, Ted Ingall has increased the
accommodation requirements for next year’s District Conference in light of
the indications from our Club as to the number of people intending to attend
the conference in Canberra.
We would like to have as many members as possible
attend the conference so please continue to give it some serious thought.
It should be a great informative and social weekend.
We still need help in finding somewhere to safely store
our Club’s equipment. We have had a quote on a commercial storage garage but
it seems too expensive at the cost of $200 per month.
If anyone can help please give me a call.
It is pleasing to note that we have plans well underway
for several functions & fundraising activities. We are looking forward to a
great year.
After our first board meeting last Wednesday evening we
have agreed to support the following charities,
-
Rotary Foundation
-
Rotary Health Research
-
Ashfield Infants Home
-
Youth off the Streets,
being our main recipients.
More on this as we progress through the year.
Until then, LET’S CELEBRATE ROTARY.
“MORE NEXT WEEK”
President Keith
