23 Members attended this week’s meeting. Our Guest this week was Junior Rotarian Reihan Patel who tagged along with Dad Mehul.
During the meeting Chris Preston informed us that he is now a proud member of the Victorian Rifle Shooters Team, congratulations to Chris for his remarkable achievement.
Getting Started Month continued with:
- Further inter club community service. We have partnered with the Rotary Club of Warrnambool East to fully fund the Warrnambool Primary Schools Math Club. Rotarian Mehul Patel, through the Specsavers community program, has donated $1000:00, Daybreak have matched that with a further $1000:00 donation and Warrnambool East will donate $1200:00.
Janey Preston will be coordinating a community service update with the Warrnambool Standard and Specsavers Warrnambool.
- The trailer subcommittee held a working bee on Sunday, we cleaned last years grime off the Trolleys & BBQ’s, emptied out the trailer in preparation for minor repairs and discussed the new hot water service.
As there was no guest speaker this week, we held a mini forum to discuss the memberships feedback from the Strategic Planning Committees club survey. We discussed six areas of feedback with plenty of questions from those in attendance.
Our meeting on August 8th has been slated as a Forum/Assembly meeting, the intention being to continue & complete our discussions on the members survey.
Please find the following program fliers on:
- National Tree Planting Day – Maggie Dwyer invites you to participate in the “ReVeg the Flume” project, if available
- Rotary Friendship Exchange D 9780 hosting D 5550 from Central Canada.
