Well, what a week this has
been!!!
My sincere thanks go to
everyone who attended and took part in our Club Changeover last Wednesday
evening. Reports coming back are indicating all who attended enjoyed the
evening.
I am certainly proud to stand
before you as President for this our centenary year of Rotary.
Last Friday afternoon I
attended the funeral of our friend and club member John Taylor. It was
pleasing to see so many Rotarians in attendance. The very dignified service
was conducted by PP and frequent visitor Peter Kilkeary.
Ray Wilson has approached me
and is very keen to resurrect a District Golf Day. Ray would like to
dedicate this day to the memory of John Taylor. We will approach all other
Clubs in the District and if sufficient interest is shown, Ray and his team
will take over organising what should be a great event.
On Saturday evening Sue and I
attended the District Changeover to see now Past District Governor Warwick
Tester hand over to incoming District Governor Lloyd Roever. Once again
Strathfield was well represented.
A number of our members have
accepted positions at District level, they are P.P.Keith Stockall, P.P.Steve
Taylor, P.P. Euan Watson and P.P.Bob Templeman. Congratulations fellows, we
are proud of you.
Next week, Wednesday 7 July,
will be my first Club Assembly. This is your opportunity to give your input
and offer practical suggestions for our future direction and to have your
say.
On Wednesday 21 July we will
be hosting a visit by D.G.Lloyd Roever. It would be an excellent opportunity
to show 100% attendance. How about it fellows!
I am encouraged by the many
offers of assistance I have been given. I will need to call on many of you
to assist in the coming twelve months, so thank you again for all the
offers.
Only 51 weeks to go, so lets
get down to business for the tasks ahead, and just as importantly, let us
enjoy a year of wonderful fellowship.
“MORE NEXT WEEK”
President Keith
