We are seeing a good attendance at Tuesday meetings, thankyou, this always make meetings interesting and informative

A Toast and Welcome to our Club Assembly meeting, with a little difference.
As we had pre booked Freeroam Theatre to speak. Jai and Tash were introduced by John Mason. Jai and Tash presented a comprehensive overview of their Wagga based incorporated not for profit Theatre company, from their humble begins of wanting to develop and provide live theatre in the local area to presenting innovative and exciting productions. It was fantastic to listen to their enthusiasm and passion for theatre. They spoke about the history and their future direction both Jai and Tash showed a clear understanding of the reality of running an artistic business and the importance they place on fund raising and grant writing. Freeroam have made a request for Rotary to become a financial supporter as they have an application sitting with Projects at present for a small grant. I do encourage members to check out their website, social media and possibly make a big effort to attend one of their performances.
Club Assembly matters for discussion and to be ratified were projects from 24/25 #1 Bike Canteen, 24/25# Days for Girls and 24/25# Nepal Village grant – all were approved.
Members Subs have been forwarded to all members.
Two members have been approved for LOA, Doug Sutton and David Post, both will enjoy a well-deserved break.

Member Bob Willis is home from hospital and taking his time to recover, you can give Bob a call for a chat as he does enjoy a quick chat.
A follow-up conversation with Felicity at Kurrajong Catering re the cost of individually packaged sandwiches. Felicity indicated the cost will be $7.00 and this could consist of a single filling of a mixed filling sandwich (half & half) plus a $10 delivery Fee for the full order of sandwiches. I will now pass this to the Meeting and Reception Committee for follow-up with members regarding ordering and pre-payment.
Beer, soft drinks (Coke & Lemon Lime & Bitters), red & white wine is now available $4 per beer and $4 per wine, soft drinks $3 each. This is an honor system, payment will be card or cash as there will be an EFTPOS machine available.
