President's Report Oct 6

What a fantastic weekend for Wagga Wagga.  Our Club should be extremely proud of the Gears and Beers festival.

While we recognise the great leadership and hard work provided by Phil McIntosh and Tim Barter it is important we also acknowledge the great work of everyone on the committee and all those who helped out over the weekend.  As Phil said in his de-brief it was a great event made possible only by the hard work of our club.  Also I'd like to thank Nathan McIntosh as his hard work and dedication to this event was greatly appreciated (and as we saw made Phil one extremely proud dad!).  Congratulations and well done to everyone involved.  This event will certainly keep Wollundry Rotary Club at the forefront of running events for our Community - as our new banners say "Supporting our Community with your help".

Please send your feedback to Phil McIntosh with suggestions for improvements to the Festival for next year.

Thankyou to everyone who provided funds for the Australian Rotary Health appeal (as part of Rotary Hat day).  We saw some weird and wonderful hats!  We raised $260 on the day which will be matched by our club for a total donation of $520 - our best effort yet according to Paul Milde.
