President George's
10 August 2005
Last week Paul Austin told the Club all the reasons why Strathfield should not be amalgamated. His talk certainly prompted many questions and at least we are better informed now. Paul is chairman of ‘Strathfield United’ a non political group that meets every Monday at 7pm in the Bowling Club.
DG Elect Harley Tarrant and I will be attending the Rotary breakfast at Darling Harbour designed as a show of solidarity while the RI Committee assess Sydney as a possible suitable venue for the World Conference.
The first Presidents meeting of this Rotary year is at the Panthers Club August 12th, which unfortunately clashes with our big Trivia Night. The DG has been very understanding about my predicament and is happy that President Elect Rod McDougall will represent our Club at the Presidents meeting while I attend the Trivia night.
If the Police Awards night 7th September is bigger and better than ever this year it will be thanks to the efforts of the committee who are working hard to make it so. 100% attendance would be nice.
We will circulate a sheet tonight for “an evening with Jeff Kennett” who is Chairman of “beyond blue”. The night will benefit the Australian Rotary Health foundation and the fight against mental illness. Venue Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club, 117 Ryedale Road, West Ryde, Thursday 18th August at 6.30pm for 7 $38.00pp
I am sure that by now all Strathfield Rotarians will have boned up on much information that they didn’t really want to know and will be able to answer almost all the trivia questions asked on Friday night. We look forward to a fun night in aid of a worthy cause. 7:00 pm for 7.30pm Wallis Hall Meriden School.
See you there.
President George
