Garden Pots

To help us with our garden day coming up in November, former member Isobel Siebel is doing some potting up of things from her garden which can be sold on the day.

However she is running short of plastic garden pots. I am asking if anyone has any spare 8" (20cm) or 10" (25cm) plastic pots to contact me, on 0429672446 and I will arrange to pick them up.

Emergency Contact list

is almost updated. Thankyou to everyone for checking with me that your contact details are correct. Please contact Judy if you need to update emergency contacts for yourself.

Annual Reports

were distributed at Changeover last week and also at Tuesday night's meeting. If you haven't received one, please let me know as I still have plenty. Many thanks to David Brown for printing them for us.

The 5c Jar

is now known as The Loose Change Jar. We will continue collecting money for the END POLIO NOW project. We are THIS CLOSE.

Membership Moment

In her first District newsletter, DG Kathy suggested this:
It is up to us to sell the sizzle of Rotary, not the sausage. No one buys a sausage from us because of the look of the sausage – they buy because of the smell of the onions. So now let’s make Rotary membership the onion on our sausage…sell the positives of being a Rotarian and the difference that we can make. Ref: D9780 Dist Newsletter July 2022. So, we have the onions because we are involved with environmental projects, garden expo, memorial for early pregnancy loss, Father of the Year promotion, Days for Girls, PNG Water and education projects, Showgrounds Mural, Defy the Drift project, Science and Engineering Challenge to name a few. If we tell people about these things, maybe they just might like to help us. On Tuesday evening, we welcomed Leon de Villiers back to the club after some time away with work commitments. We look forward to Leon’s involvement once again and welcome back Leon.
