President’s Report September 2nd.
Hi All,
We had a great time with our Casino night last week. The best part is that every one was a winner! No one lost a cent even though some gambled away all their “Roto Dollars”. Geoff Young, Goran and Marta were the clear winners at the end of the night accumulating the highest number of ‘Rotos’ between them. Many thanks to the Apex Club of Drouin and Warragul, for providing the Casino gear for our use.
Back to the real world and our hard earned dollars; did you know you can win almost every time you spend a dollar by checking out the great deals at:-
https://my.rotary.org/en/member-center/rotary-global-rewards/offers or just Google “Rotary Global Rewards - My Rotary.”
You can get discounts from Harvey Norman, Amazon and many more.
September is here with a flying start. We successfully cooked an amazing number of chops, sausages and hamburgers for the ‘Big Boys Lunch’ at the Cultural Centre. When I arrived (I didn’t sleep in!) the chops were almost done and the hamburgers and sausage cooking was in full swing. Many thanks’ to Bill who organized everything, and of course all the hands on helpers who were turning over the meat on the BBQs as fast as they could. We managed to get everything cooked just in time for it to be served. Well done and a big thankyou!
Ken gave an excellent talk to all the participants gathered there, about what else, Rotary!
September is Basic Education & Literacy Month. Everyone has the right to learn to read, write and enjoy the power, pleasures and independence of being literate. For some the journey will be easy, for others it will take much hard work and unfortunately for approximately 18 percent of today’s world population it will never happen. Something to think about when we drive our grandchildren to school…………………
Well, that’s about it for now. I have to go and help pack up the dance, until next week,
Best Regards to all.
Greg.
