President-Elect Grant and President Lydia have been working on the composition of next year’s Board Executive and of the key Committee positions in the last few weeks, gathering advice and thinking hard about what 2020/21 will bring. Stay tuned for your full cast of leaders soon!
Lana has been taking care of our finances and Mary has taken on the task of creating a detailed operating budget template and pro-forma with input from Lydia and with lots of good ideas and information. Lana is happy to report that all the overbilling from the Arbutus Club catering is finally taken care of; we are moving to a more normal state of affairs in the books.
President Lydia has reviewed a discussion paper circulated by ADG John Bathurst about the costs of PETS, especially for smaller clubs and those most distant from Seattle. There were several change options outlined. She has corresponded to both DG Bala Naidoo and ADG John, with some additional suggestions that were not included in the discussion paper. These have been forwarded higher up the chain of command at the District. Stay tuned for further news on this topic.
Past President Dianna, always cognisant of keeping up our Rotary ties, has suggested that while we can’t meet for lunches, we can each become a Secret Buddy to another member of our club. President Lydia is to do the matchmaking and at the end of this club hiatus, you will all be asked to guess who your Secret Buddy was. Stay tuned for more on this soon!
