As a kick-off to the new Rotary year, the club assembly provided an opportunity for members to input and receive feedback on upcoming activities and programs. Breaking into committee groups encouraged everyone to contribute their ideas. The committees reported back as follows:
 
Membership
  • Members to provide the name of one potential new member who will then be approached by the membership committee
  • Member retention to be pursued as a matter of priority
  • Initiate interest nights for perspective members
  • Pursue possibility of Corporate Memberships 
  • Friends of Rotary
 Service Projects
  • Continuing commitment to Farmers Market with some discussion on better advertising to draw more people to the monthly event
  • Sunrice BBQ - a good revenue earner for little effort
  • Rotary Ball - upcoming 27th July. Tickets available at Amato's, the Newsagency or from Roz. Some discussion about the need for security  and the possibility of approaching the Calos Club. Club will provide wine for official guests.
