Project Teams
  Why not use a businesslike approach
to running our projects?
 Look round the tables at our meetings and the room is full of members who have successfully run highly successful  businesses. I am sure shop-floor decisions were not made by committees, but by a manager and experienced staff.
 
Members have volunteered to manage the various projects , and we have allocated other members with an interest in particular projects to help them.
Fraser has emailed project managers asking them to report on progress with planning and recommending teams to get together at the meeting on Monday. Some of the project names may not be correct and a number of other projects have been missed so let's fix that.
 
Background
In an effort to provide all our members with satisfaction from their membership of Rotary, we have asked them to  indicate the projects they would be prepared to help manage.
It can be frustrating for members who join Rotary with a desire to serve and not be given an opportunity.  Rotary members are people who are active in or retired from management and administration roles of their chosen profession; they have a vast range of skills and experience for the club to utilize.
The intention is to give all members a meaningful and rewarding job organising projects in which they are particularly interested.
The Club directory booklet has  the initial try to allocate positions according to the survey results.  Those who indicated their willingness to manage projects in most cases have been given that responsibility. Most of the bigger projects will require all members to assist when asked for their support.
Please speak-up if your name doesn't appear or you wish to help organise another project or better still a new one.
Thanks everyone
President,   Neville

Welcome to Spring
The daffodil competition has started and the first entry is very formidable. When John Sutton moved into Mossbrae Irene gave him a flower pot with a bulb in it. John has nurtured it with great care and produced this wonderful bloom.  Congratulations John we hope to see you back at Rotary.
While the outdoor plants will not be as advanced as John's there are two main sections, 'indoor pot', and 'outdoor garden' sections, plus an extra section for cheats. There is no section for bulbs still in the plastic bag.
 
We are getting the details of how the competition will be run so no doubt you are all watching with interest the progress of your flower and protecting it from the riggers of a Spring weather event.
What we have in mind is when your bloom reaches it's best , you take a photo on your cell phone, click on share and email to <mosgielrotaryclub@gmail.com> simple.
 We intent to have a club night later in the year and display the photos no names attached and have club members by popular vote pick the winners.  (chocky fish prize) 
Help out for Adrian
 
 This bulletin is published by Robbie to assist Adrian who has just had notice (rang me at;10 am Wed) that his Daughter has been admitted to Hospital in Christchurch with a brain bleed so as you would expect he is away up to see her. She has had one successful operation and another pending. Our thoughts are with the family and we wish her a speedy recovery. We hope things are OK when you arrived in CH-ch.
 
Adrian didn't want to have you thinking he had forgotten to do a bulletin but I can assure you he is totally dedicated to the job and will be using Clubrunner soon.
