Stories
Look and See What You Find - Club Website
When was the last time you checked out our Club’s webpage, I mean really looked, and investigated, and searched behind the first page?  When was the last time you hoovered over the tabs to see what was available through the drop down options.  You know if you don’t look you don’t find, and if you don’t find you don’t learn.  You would be surprised what you can find. 
    
 
Our very own Brian took it upon himself to try and give us some insight into our webpage and inspire all of us to think how we can improve it.  Thanks Brian job well done.
 
   
There is information that the general ‘public’ can see, but when you log in, well there is so much more to discover.  Go on you know you want to, and don’t worry you can’t break it.
 
 
Things you can see just be looking include contact details of Rotarians, not only from our own Club but others as well.  You are also able to read recent bulletins, stories, Paul Harris Fellows, birthdays, upcoming events, but wait, wait I am not going to tell you anymore, I would not want to deprive you of the pleasure of discovery. 
 
 
So here is your challenge, grab yourself a drink, some snacks, family and friends and go on an exploration event of our webpage.  Whilst exploring ask yourself and your guests the following questions:  What do you like about the webpage and what not so much?  What do you want and like and what can included to enhance it?  What don’t you want or like and what can be amended or removed?  Any other suggestions or recommendations?  We know everyone should have at least one idea.
Remember this is our Club’s webpage, this is what the public sees and gives them an image of our Club and what it represents.  It may even encourage others to join our great Club!

Member Update
 
  • Len and Annette have returned home after attending medical appointments in Sydney and are currently isolating at home pending the result of a COVid tests.
  • After spending 6 weeks at home, two weeks in isolation and four weeks in lockdown, Barry is clearly happy to be out and about.  I will give you three guesses why Bill is so happy!
  • It was nice to see a few more Rotarians at our dinner meeting now we are out the other end of the ‘stay at home’ orders.
  • Winners are grinners aren’t they Matt, and as for the loser, well you should stuck to the original bet, Graeme.  Time to pay up!

Rotarian’s Pick The Menu
 
This week, compliments of Len who wasn’t even in attendance, we were treated to a scrumptious traditional lamb roast, with vegies and gravy.  We were also treated to a delicious dessert complete with prunes.
 
Next week will be the last of ‘Rotarian’s Pick The Menu’ with Bruer choosing lasagne.  Matt said he likes us so much he will even give us an entrée.

Let’s Play ‘Which Rotarian?’
 
  • Was hoping that having to attend two meetings on the same night would equate to two dinners?
  • Was 'buttering' up members?
  • Was in such a rush to get their dessert they went into the kitchen to get their own before everyone else?
  • Whilst working their 'dog' was accused of being a snob when they didn't wave back to a fellow Rotarian?
  • Has been told they need to be wrapped up in cotton wool and bubble wrap so they don't hurt themselves when they fall over?
