President George's
30 November 2005
The Pride of Workmanship Awards night, organised by Connie Galleta, was voted a great success by all in attendance. I am sure we would all agree that Connie did a magnificent job. Congratulations Connie. Not forgetting Brian Johnson and Grahame True’s imput. The awardees were of a very high standard, well deserving of their awards. John Leftwich was at his sparkling best as MC, so well done all around.
The fact that our District Governor, Bill Little, Federal MP John Murphy, State MP Virginia Judge, our Mayor Bill Carney as well as other VIP’s including Nancy Sherry, were in attendance is surely indicative of the high regard that Strathfield Rotary Club is held in. Either that or Connie can be quite persuasive!
Guest Speaker, Sgt Robert
Jones, was able to give us a first hand account of the devastation caused by the Tsunani and Australia’s response to the needs of the survivors. His presentation really brought home the enormity of the disaster and the difficulties encountered – and overcome – in setting up a hospital.
Changing the subject a little – don’t forget that this is the last week for booking for the Conference at a discount price. Ted Ingall awaits your cheque!
Rotary Christmas Cards are available from Secretary Roger, and Eve has a few Rotary Cakes and Puddings for sale.
The children’s Christmas Party is on December 14th at the Golf Club. Santa will be in attendance. If you would like Santa to give your child a present please bring it to the Club clearly labelled with a name. This will be a good night for young and old. We promise.
BBQ is in action for the Festival of Cultures, Henley Road opposite Flemington Station on 4th December. Shirley as always is organising out part in the show.
Till next week,
Enjoy Rotary,
President George
