PE Report
Last Tuesday’s service meeting was well attended.
Peter Rowlands and Geoff Young gave their last candid unedited reports. Roger gave us an update on progress in Timor-Leste on the Balibo project. Their full edited reports will be in our Annul Report handed out at the Presidents change over meeting to be held on the 27 of this month.
George spoke about the Rotary Foundation’s Centennial Celebration Dinner held last week. The Centennial Celebration Dinner hoped that a target of one million would be raised with donations and bequests. George informed us that a staggering $5 Million was pledged. (I am sure I heard that correctly) George also spoke about Rotary’s on going commitment to the eradication of Polio which has almost been accomplished. The Rotary Foundation has been rated overall 97.87% exceptional, which “exceeds industry standards” according to Charity Navigator’s assessment.
Ian Wake is organizing the next Community Dance which will be the Annual Ball. He has two bands playing so it is going to be a night to remember. The bowl scan kits have all be sorted out.
Geoff Janssen has the Debutant Ball well in hand. He is having a third registration night this Sunday.
Terry Williams has taken on membership and gave us an update on district membership. The total district’s membership is about the same as last year .
I am going to start taking notes from the next meeting, so I can recall more accurately in my future reports.
Congratulations and bad luck Michael for not picking the elusive Joker.
That’s about it for now.
P.E. Greg.
