Hi Central Rotarians
This week sees us celebrate Australia Day . I also found out that our project with Brighton RC to distribute the DIK items was nominated for an Australia Day Community Award. Unfortunately, we did not win this time around. Glenn and I attended to represent the club and accept the award should we have been successful.
Last Wednesday we had our meeting at the Hole in One competition supporting East RC. This year the NAGA award was won by Quincy. Why is it the golfers of the club win this award? Do they need to spend even more time practicing?
Well done to the club for the efforts at the Red Hot Summer Tour. We raised $2,000 which was a good result. We also go to give the new machine for sorting a run through on the Sunday. Fortunately for me it was a success and the members using it gave it the thumbs up! There are some small modifications happening this week to rectify some of the improvements identified. I have also purchased a couple of lockers to store bags, ties, tools etc so they are all in the one spot. I have also purchased an esky so the operators will have a place to get a drink in the future.
I would like to give the unit another run through when we have it back to make sure we are happy with it before the may races. If anyone has an idea please let me know.
Also I think we should put some signage on it to identify the club and the fact we are reducing landfill and also recognise our sponsors. Put your thinking caps on for a catchy phrase.*
I'm going to be an apology for this week's meeting unfortunately. I am doing a swing shift on Tuesday midday to midnight. Bega has asked me to support them with an issue which I was going to do Tue but now will have to go in on Wednesday instead. Apologies for not being able to get there.
I have also received a proposal form Ian Harper of Day Break Rc that we have a combined meeting with some guest speakers as per the information below. Also I have received a proposal from Brooke McLeod that we have a joint meeting to hear from the NYSF candidate Nekoda, some time in April. Our club didn't sponsor this candidate but anyone would be welcome to attend.
See you all next week
Regards
President Bono
