President’s Report for 26th March 2019
A big thank you to all club members, partners, and friends who assisted in any way with the Food & Wine Festival. Especially, a big thank you to the Food & Wine committee members who expended numerous hours in planning and organising the event. The Festival is a major function on the City’s annual calendar. The Festival is a family event benefiting the local community in many ways and benefiting the City of Wagga Wagga economically and socially. Local stallholders provided food, wine, beer & produce for consumption. The crowd was well behaved and they gave a tick of approval for the new location providing a larger space to occupy and the stage provided a better space for people to interact with the performers and bands. Good fellowship was experienced by all people who assisted with the Festival.
DG John has requested that members attending 9700 District Conference on Saturday 30th March to wear an “End Polio Now” shirt or if you do not have that type of shirt wear a plain red shirt. DG John wants to see a sea of red signifying the need to end polio world wide. All members are encouraged to attend the District Conference as Wollundry Club will be involved in a short segment of the conference on Saturday. Irene will be giving a presentation and James Rossiter will be giving a presentation sometime during the conference.
At the District conference a Special meeting will be held to discuss the proposed merger of District 9705 with District 9670. I will be representing Wollundry at the special meeting. The Motion for consideration at the Special meeting has been circularised and a club member motion has been circularised. Discussion on club member’s motion will be considered at this club meeting.
DisTec 19 will be held at Young on Sunday 28th April at the Town hall from 10am to 4pm. The training session is focussed on the use of technology to power clubs and to grow clubs membership. For further details view Rotary District 9700 web site.
