Mark's Remarks 8
Marks Remarks Wed 8/9/2010
September is new Generations month in the
rotary calendar and this year, after a decision by the 2010 council on
legislation, for the first time New Generations Service has become the fifth
avenue of service in Rotary ,Joining Club service, International service, Vocational service and Community service.
For those newer members of the club, the
aim of designating avenues of service is
to ensure that clubs direct their attention to a wide and balanced range of
projects.
As part of our clubs service to new
generations we are conducting the Hearing , sight and spinal screening at
Kalparrin this Saturday 11th September. If you are free to help on
that day please contact Martyn Thompson.
Also don't forget our Rotaract club. It is
a very active club and recently Michael Shields who is the equivalent of
district Governor for Rotaract personally visited many clubs in the district to
encourage them to start Rotaract clubs. This was a great personal effort and he
is to be congratulated. Michael is also organising a training program soon and
may need the assistance of our club in providing some training sessions but
more on that soon.
I would encourage members to go along to one of their Monday night meetings.
Rotarians are welcome and it shows our support and it is worth seeing how
active and community spirited these great young people are.
