Club Admin Committee Meeting 21/10/20
Attendance: John, Don, Lesley, Jan, Pam and Ray contacted by phone.
Guest speaker for 28th October is Toni Afaras from the Stroke Foundation. Invitations have been sent to other clubs to join us.
After the AGM our guest speaker will be Michelle Van Liessum talking about the work being done by the Rotary Foundation and funding. “Strong Foundations” newsletter was sent to all clubs.
Centurian funding: discussion took place on how we could do it this year. Suggestion will be taken to the Board that members may wish to contribute $10 a month or full payment of $100. Contributions would be optional.
Christmas function: The Grovedale and Waurn Ponds Hotels were contacted. At this stage we would not be able to have the number of members we require. The venues are waiting for further easing of indoor dining restrictions. The committee will keep in touch.
Other suggestions were a possible spit roast or BBQ at Don Lester’s woolshed providing we are allowed to have all of the members on site. Use our club trailer. Suggested that we could have a raffle and cost it so as to raise some funds. Graham Perkins also mentioned the previous meeting that it might be possible to have a BBQ on his property.
A coffee get together was arranged for Saturday 24th at 10am. It has been cancelled by David due to lack of numbers. Looks like we will organise it at another date.
Our next committee meeting will be held at lunchtime at a café in our area. If possible other committees may want to meet face to face as well.
Meetings in January 2021: 13th will be a social night; 20th a Board meeting; 27th hopefully a meeting with Torquay. Our turn to organise the evening.
Discussion on the Lotto fundraiser. The committee wasn’t in favour of running it in our club, but thought that it was an interesting suggestion.
Advertising to the club of: our Gifting Program for Christmas; Kardinia’s “Geelong Gourmet Goodies Hampers” and their Quiz night. The club has also been invited to attend East Geelong Meetings.
