President Paul opened the meeting with Rotary Grace and welcomed our visitor DG Elect John Glassford from Coolamon Rotary Club.He also welcomed John Ferguson back to our meeting after a recent operation. Members wish John a continuing speedy recovery. Paul also informed us that Geoff Hamilton is back home for a period during his ongoing treatment for leukemia. Geoff is often mentioned and thought of by club members. Being a "Hillis Day" and therefore a day for fellowship i.e. no guest speaker, Paul tried to keep his sessions brief. He gave us a few reminders which no doubt he will publish in President's Report section of this Bulletin. It is worth Editor publishing a couple of things he mentioned: - 40TH ANNIVERSARY DINNER Tues 27th Feb, Nathan Room, 6.30 p.m. $30 per head
- RYLA, nominations need to be in by 6th March.
- Guest Speaker next week: Katherine Warren. Subject: "Days for Girls"
