PARTNERS NIGHT FOR NEXT WEEKS YOUTH NIGHT.
Apologies for the late notice, but as Leedy Watson has agreed to attend on the night , and as you are all familiar with Euan’s passion towards youth programmes, I thought a Partners Night would be appropriate. Also it is a good opportunity for Leedy to catch up with Rotary fiends and partners.
Those with e-mail will have already received notification of the change to a Partners Night. As there will be school children present please note that we will be commencing the meeting at 6.30pm.
Last weeks presentation by Anne Fulcher was a most informative one. Look forward to this weeks presentation from Nicholas McTaggart, Federal Agent, Australian Federal Police.
Rotarian Warren Abbott will be on extended Leave of Absence for another couple of months due to treatment for his condition.
APOLOGIES/ NON-APOLOGIES
For the second week in succession there have been 18 non-apologies. I would hope after my article in last weeks Bulletin that that number will be dramatically reduced.
Wishful thinking some might say. Seriously we need to address this problem.
