Our guest speaker Bill Gardiner the President of the Warrnambool Branch of U3A (university of the 3rd age), gave us a very interesting talk. They are a very busy group doing some very interesting things. Thank you, Brian Trenery for chairing the night.
We were pleased to welcome Andrew Ross, Margaret's son and her grand daughters Arielle and Cathryn Ross. Congratulation to Cathryn on being our representative at RYLA. We look forward to seeing her again at Rotary.
We had apologies from Judy Ross, Leon Devillier, Rachel Furnell, Svetlana LIneham, Robbie Blackmore, David Brown, Greg Lee, and Graeme Ward. The board meeting following our Club meeting agreed to grant leave of absence to PP Trevor Williams. Trevor and Leanne are heading off on a big trip and we wish them safe travels.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Book Sale this weekend
Anne has been contacted by Marg Wagner from 'Enhance Work Placement Experience for Everyone' in regards to billeting under 18s throughout the year to help complete their tafe courses here in Warrnambool. These students live remotely and need to complete intensive elements here at our south west tafe campus. This program has a MOU with our district and is being asked of all clubs within our area. If you are interested, please talk to Anne. Brooke can also forward on the flyer and information.

BOOK SALE RAFFLE: items are required to create prizes for the raffle at the Book sale. There will be several prizes as usual, and they will be compiled of whatever is donated. If you can spare something to go into one of the prizes on offer, could you please bring it along and give to Judy. Suggestions - wine, chocolates, biscuits, food items. REMEMBER everything must be unused/new and not out-of-date.
HI-VIS VESTS: We are missing several vests and I ask if you could please check and see if you may have one lurking in a dark corner somewhere, (at home, in the car, at work, in the shed???). If you do find one, could you please check and see if it is clean and bring it back so we have a full complement of vests once more. Many thanks.
LIDS FOR KIDS: Please continue to bring along your washed milk bottle tops. Svet and her Girl guides are working with Lauren, who came and spoke to us. You can give the lids to Svet or Judy. Bread tags are also still being collected.
SMALL CHANGE JAR:
please feel free to empty your pockets and purses of any small change which will go towards Rotary's endeavour to END POLIO NOW. Thankyou for your continued support and generosity.

Book Sale Volunteering
Normally when it comes to the book sale, have haven't formally made a roster due to the relaxed nature of the volunteering job. If you are able to help out, you can simply turn up. But, if you would like to let someone know what day and or time you can be there, you can talk to Judy, Anne Adams or respond to this email.
Times we will need volunteers for especially:
- Friday from 1pm to continue to set up
- Both days through the day to relief and give breaks to those who are there
- Saturday night for the Jock Serong event (setup and back up)
- Sunday afternoon for complete pack up (and counting the money! hehe)
The best help is to tell everyone to come to the event!
