President's Pen

Our club was thrilled last week to receive Adelaide City Council planning approval for a pergola to be erected at one of the residences belonging to Catherine House. This has taken some time to come to fruition, but now we hope under the project management of past member Kym and Community chair, Katrina, it will be completed within the first two weekends in July. With this in mind Kym has requested a meeting with all the club members who will be actively participating in this garden project to be held on Wednesday 30th May commencing at 5pm t Julie & John Campbell’s apartment. I hope to see most members in attendance as Kym will fully explain the scope of the project, the time line and how members will be involved. Once again, we sincerely thank Stratco for their generous donation of a pergola which is enabling us to financially complete this project.

 

A successful bbq was run last Saturday at Kent Town with over $800 raised. Thank you to Rotarians who assisted on the day and particular appreciation to Ashton, brother of our NYSF student Shayla, who worked extremely hard on the middle shift.

 

Again, I was impressed at our Club Planning breakfast last Thursday, by the discussion and forthcoming ideas on how a District Management structure could look when District 9500 and District 9520 become one District 9510. I will provide your thoughts on how the District governor can remain effective in the enlarged district, to the combined District Steering Committee, as requested.

 

Remember our Days for Girls Activity on Wednesday 6th June commencing 6pm at The Royal Coach, so ask your partners and Rotary friends. This is a combined activity with Eastwood Rotary Club and cost is $20 per Rotarian. Please RSVP to secretary John Campbell. Also note this will take place in lieu of our normal meeting, so there will be no breakfast on Thursday 7th June.

 

Thought for the week:

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen”

Of the things we think, say or do:

Affirmation

United in the spirit of Service we value truth, fairness and friendship; and we welcome the opportunity that Rotary gives us to contribute our talents and resources in support of others.
