Hello fellows
Again, thanks to President Elect, Keith Byrn for sitting in and running the meeting for me last week.
Thanks also to Denise Taylor for assisting with the distribution of flyers for our “Bike the Park” fundraiser on 2 May. Denise provided transport for Brian Johnson and Stephen Taylor to Morisset on Sunday morning so they could participate in the “Loop the Lake” event organised by the Rotary Club of Warners Bay. Denise then drove on to Warners Bay to distribute the flyers as riders finished the ride. Whilst we are talking about things associated with bike riding, Stephen achieved a personal best for “Loop the Lake” by reducing his time by 30 minutes over the previous year and congratulations to Brian who has upgraded and purchased a new road bike which he enjoyed riding on Sunday.
At the Board meeting last week, Directors resolved to contribute $1,250 to the Trish Foundation This amount when included with the amount presented to Carol Langsford last week will bring the total amount raised for the Trish Foundation this year to $20,000.
The Board has considered some suggested Rotary centenary projects. Keith Byrn, Brian Johnson, Grahame True and I will meet on Thursday night to discuss them further and determine a project.
On the agenda at the District Conference this weekend is the Resolutions session. Our club is allowed two delegates to vote. I will attend this session together with Roger Vince and Stephen Taylor. as representatives of our Club. There are 3 resolutions which have been proposed:
1. Acceptance of District Accounts for 2002/2003.
2. Sponsoring students for the Youth Exchange Program
3. Sub-committee bank accounts.
I would like to obtain from members tonight, an indication on which way members would like the club delegates to vote.
Have a good week.
Keith
