MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENTS

John Harris thanked all those who helped with the BBQ for the Tradies Night at South West Trades on Thursday 4 June. John Harris and Judy Ross cooked the sausages for the hundreds of tradies who were present and Astrid used her Danish charm handing out sausages. At one stage Astrid returned to the BBQ and requested a special sausage order for a ‘gorgeous boy’ who was inside - Judy and John looked alarmed until Astrid put their minds at rest by telling them the gorgeous boy was 7 years old! 

TAFE Awards Next Week

Rotarian Gordon Curran informed the meeting that he and Rotarian Anne Adams, assisted by a TAFE staffer, had interviewed six very good nominees for the 2015 Rotary TAFE award last Thursday. A presentation ceremony will take place next Tuesday night, with TAFE CEO Mark Fidge as guest speaker. Southwest TAFE has provided an additional $750 to the $1,000 Rotary award, which will enable awards to be made to two runner-up nominees of $500 and $250 respectively. Each of our three young award winners will bring two guests, and some TAFE teachers have also indicated their wish to attend. TAFE has kindly agreed to fund the dinner costs of the additional guests. Should be a big night for the club and we look forward to an excellent attendance of Rotarians.
