Presidents Report 10TH May 2017
What a great meeting we had last night.
It was great to see a few of our Rotarian partners at the meeting, as we had a full program
Firstly a big welcome to Michael O’Brien who was inducted last night as our newest member. He was
supported by his lovely wife Mary, just returned from visiting family in Ireland. It was a pleasure to meet
you Mary.
Geoff Janssen reported on the Deb Ball information night. At this stage we will host two balls, from over
100 people attending the information session. Geoff needs at least 6 Rotarians or partners to help with the
registration night. Anyone that has previously helped in this manner would certainly be welcomed, but
don’t let that hold you back as anything you can do would be appreciated. Please be at the dance Studio at
5.30pm on Sunday 28th May.
Our guest speaker, Peter Costas was very interesting. Peter is a feature writer with magazine Steak & Land
magazine and he is a Councillor in the Baw Baw Shire. Peter is also an auctioneer, Agent, Nurseryman, and
his wealth of knowledge on live cattle and carcasses was really informative. He gave us a few hints on what
cuts of meat to buy and how to recognise the better quality cuts.
Rosa as usual our smiling Exchange student gave a report on her comings and goings over the past two
weeks. She is a pleasure to have at our meetings and it is wonderful to see how much she has grown since
she came to us last year as a shy little girl. She is involved in so many activities, that she is learning more
each and every day. Good work Rosa.
Don’t forget our Golf Day on Friday; if you haven’t yet registered give Ken Rook a call as we are down on
numbers. I will catch you on one of the holes to take money off you, so beware.
Ken missed out on the Jokers Wild this week, bad luck Ken!!!!!.
Next week we are hosting Phil Butler who is an Agronomist You will need to attend to find out what that is
all about.
Don’t forget to keep Tuesday 30
th May free. Goran and his team are organising a Murder Mystery Night, to
be held at the Golf Club. As this is a partners nights, please consult your better half and book them in for a
fun fun night.
Just on closing Annual Reports need to be into Peter van Diemen by the 20th May at the latest.
Enjoy your week.
