Posted by Rob McLennan on Feb 12, 2019

Although last week's meeting was conducted in the Royal Coach's restaurant it was successful with a very enthusiastic guest speaker, Mark Watts, supported by his partner Dalice Kennedy ( and very young daughter ) introducing us to a healthy lifestyle and defibrillators

 

Last Saturday night, John W, John K, Bruce, Yvette and myself attended the excellent National Rotaract Conference Dinner at the Adelaide Zoo. A very enthusiastic group of well over one hundred Rotaractors and Rotarians enjoyed the awards evening in the noisy rotunda.

 

Last night I was guest speaker at the Glenelg Kiwanis dinner talking about community radio. They have 65 very enthusiastic members and I was surprised at the similarities between Kiwanis and Rotary. I was assured that most of their clubs are also experiencing issues with dwindling membership.

 

Tomorrow, Wednesday 13th. we are experimenting with an evening meeting at the Ibis Hotel , 122 Grenfell St. from 6.15pm. commencing at 6.30pm and concluding at 7.30pm.

We are expecting eight Rotaractors (possibly 11) and nine Rotarians which is excellent.

The agenda will allow us to discuss and further develop projects of mutual interest.

Approximately 12 are staying for dinner at the Ibis immediately after the meeting.

 

A Coffee Conversation is planned for this Thursday 14th. Feb. at the Stables from 9.30am. until 10.30am.

The Four Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do:

  2. Is it Fair to all concerned?
  3. Will it build Goodwill and better Friendships?

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.
