Presidents Report                                                                                                                 10th October 2016
 
Hi to everyone, well what another great week at the Rotary Club of Pakenham
It was business as usual at with great input from all members
We will have a rotary Club presence at the Cardinia Foundation Dinner on Friday 14th with setup/auction spotters/clean up crew.
Ian V and Sandy gave us a report on the time spent at the Portsea Camp with various maintenance duties.
David Walsh was our guest speaker and it was interesting to hear David’s story from when he first met the love of his life (Caz) in Tech school and his subsequent journey with various positions primarily with Mechanical Engineering as his forte.  His bout with Cancer which thankfully is in remission. Our thoughts are with you on your journey.
Greg was informing us about our plans for our Indian friends visiting next year from the Rotary Club of Poona Downtown.  If you are able to host any of the visiting Indian Rotarians please inform Greg as we need as many homes as we can
Joker’s wild was drawn by Henry and fortunately for the Club he didn’t pick out the Joker. There is always next week Henry
Don’t forget to get behind the Shopping Tour on 5th November, there are still a few seats left on the bus. For those interested please contact Caz
Margaret & Wal Macdonald are again hosting a Cup Day Champagne breakfast at their home. The cost is $15 per head and we will be handing a sheet around again next week for final numbers
Have a great week and enjoy the sun for a change after our terrible weather of last week. We must feel sorry for Tim & Jan Ahern as they had 28 or so trees fall over, on their property. Hopefully things are on the mend.
