Hello Daybreakers,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Valentine’s Day. There was very little reference to it at this weeks meeting, perhaps that’s a good thing.
Not long now until our Long Lunch, and bookings must be made by this coming Sunday. Jenny has reasonable numbers at this stage, but we’re hoping to be sold out. A huge that you goes our to Matt Henderson from Star Printing, for printing our Long Lunch tickets at no charge. Thanks also to Watto for his design and the effort in “email tag” with Brooke to get the job done.
I asked everyone to mark the club’s 20th Anniversary in their calendars – 28th July, as it will come around soon enough, and we would like to see all involved in this special occasion.
Ian McKay has made his choice and will transfer his membership to the RC of Mount Gambier Lakes. I look forward to catching up with him at Conference.
We watched an inspiring video from this years International Assembly by Bradford R. Howard, talking about Rotary’s brand, Essence, value and voice. Some conversation ensued about methods to recruit new members and what it means to be a part of Rotary. The video is able to be watched on the My Rotary Website, and I encourage anyone who missed it to take a look. It goes for 16 minutes, but is a good reminder of why you may have joined Rotary and reasons to take pride in that. I encourage you all to talk about Rotary to the people you encounter during your day, so the general public have a better understanding of what Rotary is.
We will have guest speakers for the next three weeks. Next week Brad and Kim will share the story that led them to adopting a child.
Next Week : Continental breakfast- $17.00
Please send apologies through to Steve on 0457 926 657 by Midday on the Tuesday.
Rotary - Making a Difference
