MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENTS

For more information call Laurel Myers  on 0411 136 850. Visit www.facebook.com/warrnamboolorganfestival/info

 

Brian Trenery advised that following on from Dr Barry Morphett's address at the last week, Rotarians have been invited to visit the Warrnambool Hospital on Tuesday the 18 November between 5 and 6 pm – further details are yet to be arranged closer to the date.

 

Brian also spoke about the Lights Project practice run and training in two weeks time at SW TAFE’s Sherwood Campus at Deakin University.  To reach the location take the Deakin turn off, cross the rail line and then take the first turn to the left. This will be a bit of a trial run to check the external lights of Rotary members vehicles. The CFA have loaned TAFE a sight board to assist with proper head light adjustments. A BBQ dinner will follow and Tony Austin is proposing everyone will have a hamburger with the lot and will provide a form at the next meeting for people to note special dietary requirements or if they want anything different to "the lot".  Parking details to be advised at the next meeting.

 

Doug Maclean is working on the roster for this event and asked Rotarians to contact him about their availability to help, including what time and what days.  If you are unable to help, let Doug know so he doesn't place you on the roster.

 

Wear your favourite hat!  is coming up on Tuesday  28 October at 6 pm. Guest speaker will be Isabelle Collins who will talk about the Rotary Health Research Fund and speak about the issue of mental health. There will be prizes for the best hat and largest hat, finger food and lots of fun on the night.  RSVP to David Brown 0438 647 536 or david@swcredit.com.au no later than 2pm on 27 October
