It being a Fellowship Day there was no guest speaker.
Our guests this week Rob Wheeler and Franzi Treber, our exchange student. She gave a quick talk about what she has been doing since arriving, which has been basically settling in. Mark Hillis jumped up and made it known that Franzi is a delight to have around and fitting in very well at their household. Indeed everyone who has dealt with her so far has confirmed that she is an excellent ambassador for the exchange program!
President John gave us the unfortunate news of Kevin Roben’s resignation. Kevin finds himself needing to move on at this stage but gave some advice as he farewelled us in his letter of resignation, which John accepted with regret.
Our caterer, Mathew, came out and thanked us for the support we were showing him with our weekly meetings. Our gratitude for the new service was also expressed. The bar reports falling sales of sandwiches on a Tuesday, which may or may not be related.
August is Membership Month, which means it’s time to celebrate your Rotary club, your members, and the good you do in your community and around the world.
There are many ways to join in the celebration, but here are a few activities to get you started:
Say it loud, say it proud! Let everyone in your social network know that you are a proud member by changing your Twitter and Facebook profile picture to the I’m a Proud Member of, I’m a Proud Rotaractor, or I’m a Proud Interactor graphic. Copy and save the graphic as your profile picture for August.
Watch and share. Download RI President Gary C.K. Huang’s video on membership from Rotary’s Vimeo page. Watch it at your next meeting or club event to highlight the vital role membership plays in maintaining a strong and active club.
We Are Rotary. Using the hashtag #WeAreRotary, post photos to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Vine of your club members at work in your community or abroad to show how Rotary makes a positive impact in the world.
It’s Now or Never. Join us on August 13 at 10:00 Chicago time (UTC-5) (this happens to be 1am on Thursday 14th for NSW) for our Membership: It’s Now or Never webinar. It will feature international membership expert Nikki Walker discussing innovative ways of thinking about membership.
Making a difference. Rotary clubs are known for the high-impact service projects they undertake locally and globally. Share stories about your service projects and how they improve lives on Rotary Showcase. Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to see what Rotary members around the world are doing to celebrate Membership Month.
What does Rotary mean to you? Rotary members have pushed polio to the brink of eradication, delivered clean water to those in need, improved their local communities, provided scholarships to the next generation of peacemakers, and continued to do good in the world.
Paul Milde, in his role as Secretary, announced member commitments and Rosters.

Sergeant Session
In the spirit of Fellowship, Michael Georgiou told a series of jokes, some of which might actually be repeatable in this bulletin. Might. He kept telling until enough was raised to keep him quiet, so a good sargeant’s session!

OIC Geoff Bruest reported a cold morning (-20!) cleared to a beautiful clear, but cold, day. Only twelve stallholders plus the jumping castle. Stallholders are expressing concern about the market’s future. This can be tempered with the knowledge that several stallholders selling cakes or crafts did very well even in such a poor market.
A good team who operated coolly under the pressure. Or was that the weather? Thanks also to Julian, the Duke of Edinburgh student.
