Presidents Report 10 th January 2017
Happy New Year to all of you and I hope the Christmas/New Year was a lot of fun
Now back to reality with the new 2017 Rotary Year upon us
Our first meeting back was very informative with Grant Austen showing us how to operate the Clubrunner
system that we are using
This system as most of the Rotarians noted, was how user friendly it is
Grant by the way has done a great job with the Website and is always updating and organising the same
He would like to know if any member would be able to supply a better photo for the masthead
The present one that most of you would notice when you logged in is of a group of houses in Lakeside, so
something more appropriate would be great. Send in your ideas to grant via email if possible
Roger along with D.I.K. asked for help in collecting various exercise books/pens/pencils etc for our Balibo
project. Many thanks to Wal, as he had been to Aldi and got a huge amount, also thanks to Noel for
helping me as we spent all day yesterday depleting all the available stock in Pakenham. So we look like we
will be able to send quite a lot to fill the container when we find out how much has been sourced by the
other clubs
Sam’s ticket gave him the chance to have a go at Jokers Wild yet once again and much laughter prevailed
as Grant tried to rip him off with his own ticket...
No final figure on the Trailer Raffle but according to Tim A he is sure we have gone over the previous
year’s total. Rotarians and Inner Wheel members should pat themselves on the back for such a fantastic
effort. Great to see the two clubs working so closely together.
Don’t forget the BBQ on Saturday. Volunteers need to be at the shed at 9.30 to go to Windermere Blvd
which is the shopping centre opposite the Golf Club The BBQ is in the park on the left just up the hill past
Coles
We had a few sniffles when reading the email from Michelle to do with the Balibo Project. We saw photos
of the two wheelchairs we sent via D.I.K. To think these children haven’t been mobile since birth and now
can get around of their own volition is extraordinary
That’s all from me this week and look forward to next week’s meeting. Our guest speaker is to be DAVID
Farrelly from Neighbourhood Watch, so that should be interesting
Till then
Yours in Rotary
