He called on us to do a club health check and publicise our events.

Peter remained after the meeting for further discussion with Board Members.

No breakfast meeting next week 13 July – instead we are co-sponsoring and attending the RYLA dinner on Wednesday 12 July at Belair Country Club.

Also tree planting exercise on Sunday 16 July at Inman Valley – where we are joining forces with Eastwood Rotary to rejuvenate eroded land. Contact Julie if you are planning to attend. Lunch is provided.

Thought for the week:

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”
