Hello Daybreakers,
 
Our meeting on 11 January 2023 was a great fellowship morning. It was an opportune moment to catch up post the Christmas and New Year period.
 
It is full steam ahead with our summer market barbeques at Lake Pertobe.
 
 
We continue to get good results every Friday and with the warm weather expected this coming Friday we expect the trend to continue.
 
Please continue to check the roster and notify of your unavailability if this occurs. In the absence of Ian Harper please let Cheryl or I know to keep an eye on the roster.
 
Another friendly reminder that our Rotary Youth Program in Enrichment and Rotary Youth Leadership Award program will be upon us. RYLA applications are required to be submitted by 5 March 2023 for the camp at Kangaroobie from Sunday 16 April 2023 to Friday 21 April 2023.
 
The relevant applicants are aged between 18 and 25.
 
RYPEN on the other hand is an annual weekend for young people aged between 14 and 17 years of age.
Rotarian Wendy James from the Rotary Club of Horsham East is the current chair. It is normally held in the first week of April of each year.
 
If there are any potential candidates that members wish to mention to the new generation Director / Deputy Director Andrew Giblin and Barry Moran please do so.
 
As raised at the meeting after the summer market barbeques in January the next fundraising event is in late May 2023 for our Long Lunch. If member's have any ideas of potential fundraising or other activities for the club to consider please let Cheryl and I know.
 
Finally, please continue selling the raffle books in relation to the Rotary Club of Ballarat South Raffle where we receive 60c in the dollar for each ticket sold. It is certainly an easy way to raise funds for our club.
 
So let's Imagine Rotary.
 
Your President,  
Sergio Bacchetti
