Ronnie’s Wrap.

Rotarians

Great to see 24 of your smiling faces at last week’s meeting - we are back in business! Lots of catching up, O’Brien time and fellowship in the name of Rotary.  I invite you to congregate for another meeting at the Central Court this Wednesday 2nd December. Please contact Mark McFadden on 0407 052 758 or email Mark.McFadden@roads.vic.gov.au to confirm your attendance by 6pm today. Face masks will be required on entry but not when seated and you will need to register your details at the door. Payment by card is preferred.

Speaking of O’Brien time, it’s Knuckles time to shine this week when he will conduct our 32nd AGM. The stopwatch will be on to see if he can post a PB.

The board have decided the Christmas party will be held in the Carmichael Room at the City Memorial Bowls Club on Thursday 10th December. I’ll have further details regarding cost and times at this week’s meeting

Hope to see you tomorrow

Stay safe

Cheers

Ronnie

We are meeting again this Wednesday!

It is back on again! 

12.30 for 1.00, Central Court Motel.  It is important that we can give the venue exact numbers. 

Please r.s.v.p. to Macca –

Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The Rotary Club or Warrnambool Central will conduct its Annual General Meeting, including the election of office bearers, on Wednesday 2nd of December 2020.  If the president-elect gets his act in to gear.  So, doubtful at best.

Minutes.

Attendance – 24 members enjoyed our return to the Central Court.  Only Gracey’s FTA spoiled an otherwise 100% R.S.V.P. effort.  Well done everyone.  Sam even reported the books balanced.  Unprecedented. 

Meal – A chicken breast under a white sauce with salad and chips was the perfect way to restart our meetings again.  Thanks to Anne and Jason for welcoming us back.

How good was it to be back!  Some members could barely remember where the venue was.  Garry remembered the words to the invocation then spilled his drink all over the table.  We are all out of practice Garry. 

Brendan kicked off the meeting with two jokes, proving once again that quantity is often a poor substitute for quality.  Our President welcomed everyone back, canvassed Christmas party options, informed us of the D.G.’s visit on the 16th of December, and spoke glowingly of Sirileo Miss.

In reports:

·       The Treasurer reported that he had nothing to report.

·       The President-Elect invited/begged people to volunteer to serve on the board.

·       Hayessey discussed our involvement in various school awards and the upcoming Trade Expo.

·       Garry expressed the firm belief that Jann Fiedler will be able to return home soon.  The wonderful people at District have the matter under control.

·       Bob discussed plans to watch the Jericho cup in a local licenced establishment. 

·       Brendan reported the Golden Community Raffle will go ahead.  He also gave us a report on the project to assist James, with particular thanks to Rowan and Tim.

·       The Pres. asked for volunteers to assist again in the Sinclair Wilson Christmas Tree project.  Talk to Ronnie if you are able to help.

The meeting concluded with a free flowing fines session and plenty of O'Brien time for everyone to catch up. 

We look forward to catching up with even more people this week.

Incidentally,

Q. What do you call a visually challenged reindeer?

A. No idea.
 

Reflections.

One of the hardest things in life is to see yourself the way other people see you.  As a dentist who finished high school nearly 35 years ago, on occasions I wonder what other people think of me.  Fortunately Lew Officer has given me the answer this week.

Ten years ago.

Ten years ago, the club ran their annual car rally.  I thought members might like to see the metal everyone was driving ten years ago.  The Stig looks pretty keen to have a drive in that last photo.

 

Seafood for Christmas.

Thank you to all those who contributed this week.
