Posted by Katrina Ball on Aug 27, 2019
There is no meeting this week, however there will be a coffee conversation on Thursday 29 August at 9.30 am at the White Picket Coffee House, 10 Stuart St, Dulwich. Everyone is welcome.  Our next official meeting is an evening meeting on Wednesday 4 September at the Stamford Plaza Hotel.
 
The meeting next week will be a planning meeting with Club directors looking to firm up projects and project budgets for the 2019-20 Rotary year.  Julie Campbell (Community Services) has a range of possible projects to discuss and is asking members to see if there is a particular project they would like to champion.  Angus Tuck (International) is keen to have more members participate in the Club’s international projects.  
 
Our next Bunnings BBQ is on Monday 16 September at Mile End. Di Lane is looking for volunteers for the BBQ roster with many of the regular BBQ participants away on holiday in September.

The Four Way Test
Posted by Richard Jarrett on Sep 04, 2018

The Four Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do:

  1. Is it the Truth?
  2. Is it Fair to all concerned?
  3. Will it build Goodwill and better Friendships?
  4. Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

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.
