Service Meeting April 2017
Hi All,
Last Tuesday’s meeting went fairly quickly due to no Fireside meetings, and therefore no reports.
It was great to see the return our guests Bev and Michael.
 
Secretary Peter gave his usual excellent report and also reminded us of all the up and coming events. Peter also reaffirmed a commitment we made at Conference that we would donate monies towards Rotary’s clean water program.
 
Extract from a follow up email from Peter Sindrey Secretary from Rotary Club of Lakes Entrance
“During the Governor’s Ball I suggested that if all 50 Clubs were willing to donate $200 each, the total funds coming from this act would amount to $10,000 – sufficient to pay for two complete SkyJuice units.  From feedback we received on the night, and later, I think that Clubs believed this to be a worthy venture.  
It would also mean that a substantial gift would be made as a direct result of us all attending a great Conference.”
This will now be taken to the board for final approval.
(More information about Rotary’s clean water program and SkyJuice involvement is in last weeks scribe.)
 
All it takes is $24.00 to provide one person with safe water. 
23 Million People now have safe water because of Rotary.
2030 is the year Rotary plans to finish providing everyone with safe water, sanitation, and hygiene in the world. This is an amazing challenge with an ambitious goal. Our club will endeavor to support this program into the future.
 
Ian W. reported that the community dance went well; he also stated a small increase in admission charge was inevitable.  Ian also informed us that the Rotary Park Seats are being built by our own Peter R. and will be made from galvanized steel to a design approved by Cardinia Council.
We also had a straw survey of internet usage; detailed results will be in next weeks scribe.
The Joker is still in the pack, better luck next time Peter.
Sam took on the Sergeant roll and he did a great job in extracting fines and keeping the meeting on track.
 
Thanks and that’s about it for now.
Have a great day,
Greg
