In the absence of President Peter, Vice President Geoff, welcomed all members.
President Peter has taken Yvonne to Geelong to have testing done on her back. We hope all goes well.
Geoff extended our condolences to PP Liza on the passing of her father-in-law and our thoughts are with her and Wayne.
He queried if we had all seen the Tyrells winery flyer that was a ROMAC project.
ROMAC is the acronym for “Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children”
and is a combined Australia and New Zealand Multi-district Rotary project.
and is a combined Australia and New Zealand Multi-district Rotary project.
ROMAC has been in operation for over 30 years.
Rotarians volunteer their time and expertise to run this Rotary project that encompasses all the Districts of Australia and New Zealand. Assisted by many eminent Australian and New Zealand surgeons who generously donate their time for the treatment of our patients, this humanitarian program has provided life-giving surgery to over 500 children from more than 20 developing countries, with urgent medical treatment that was not available to them in their own country.
Members Announcements
Other local Rotary projects to look out for are the Warrnambool RC fashion parade and our own Bunnings BBQ on the 27th March. Harpo will have a roster out shortly.
Hope you all heard Glenn on the radio this week spruiking the Clean up Australia Day event. We will be doing our rubbish pick up on Sunday at Victoria Park. We will meet there with the Clontarf boys who will cover the Levi’s Beach area.
Cheryl, Ann, Jennie and Janey couldn’t be there on Sunday so they are off after the meeting to do a pick up along Illowa Rd then onto Harrington Rd.
Don’t forget Sunset drinks at Ali’s place. BYO drinks and nibbles to share.
20th March.
Sandra is off to the Standard after the meeting to hand over an article on our Long Lunch.
Due to the uncertainty of the covid situation and seating restrictions we will not be holding it this year, however, we need to remind people that even though it’s not happening in 2021 it will be back bigger and better in 2022.
She went on to talk about projects and that this is a timely opportunity to review all our projects and follow a simple few rules….. What do we keep? What can we do that is new? and what do we drop?
PE Barry would like members to have a think about this for a brainstorming session that he wants to hold in the near future.
Jan Read ran the member’s choice activity.
Seven volunteers who are ,blindfolded.
They are all hanging on to a rope.
They have to form a perfect square with the rope.
Yeah. Sure. That’s gonna happen. Wobbliest square I’ve ever seen.
Liked Bob’s idea…. “Let’s all sneak out while they are all blindfolded”
Quiz – Sandra presented the weekly quiz, with a number of people sharing the points. We should have known that Bob had been to Lake Titicaca. He’s been everywhere.
Fines. No fines this week, just hold on to them till next week
