Presidents Report 16 TH May 2017
What a great meeting we had last night
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
There will be a Roster organised to make sure the load is shared as far as the training nights, with the first
one being 18th June, Dates/Times to be advised as soon as Geoff has finalised the numbers for the various
balls.
Our guest speaker, Phil Butler was very interesting and was talking about his life and career as an
agronomist. For those of you who don’t know the definition of agronomy: Mr Google says Agronomy is
the science and technology for producing and using plants for food, fuel, fibre and land reclamation. It
encompasses work in the areas of [plant genetics, plant physiology, meteorology and soil science.
He now works for E E Muir and has had huge success with various orchard growers etc from Mooroopna,
when he and his family first moved from New Zealand. Now settled in Pakenham area and working locally
He has a wife Johanna and three children Jonty, Anneke and Skylah.
I had coffee with Trevor Longmuir yesterday and he is looking good. He still has a bit to go to get a handle
on his business after such a long time but his family support has helped him through. We wish you all the
best Trevor and can’t wait till you get back to Rotary
Rosa as usual our smiling Exchange student gave a report on her comings and goings over the past week.
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
Our Golf Day last Friday was a huge success and our thanks go to Ken Rook and his team for all the work
they did to make it the great day it was.
Peter v missed out on the Jokers Wild this week, bad luck Peter!!!!!.
Don’t forget to keep Tuesday 30th 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. Goran will be sending information out to a few members who he will choose to take a part
in the mystery.
