Hello fellows,
This evening we welcome members of the Meriden Interact club to our club.
Last Friday night I attended a Presidents’ meeting at Penrith and took the opportunity to present our donation of $500 to the District Governor on behalf of the Millennium Foundation.
Alan Sweet of the Padstow Club has recently returned from a GSE trip to Houston and has advised that he together with his team are willing and available to attend any club to speak about their experiences of the trip.
The District Governor has advised that so far the District has raised just over $100,000 for the Northcott Society. I told the DG that we planned to present the Northcott Society with an amount in excess of $20,000 later in June
Last Sunday I together with a number of our members participated in the Salvation Army’s Red Shield appeal. Some of us provided transport for volunteer collectors while others assisted, by counting the money as collectors returned to the South Strathfield Bowling Club.
Thank you to those members that helped on the day.
I urge all members to indicate their intentions, on the commitment sheet, whether or not you will be attending the District Changeover on Saturday 26 June, at St. Joseph’s College, Hunters Hill 7.00 p.m. sharp, $50.00 per person 3 course meal including beer wine & soft drink. Please note that tickets must be booked and paid for as one booking for each club. There will not be any facility to book and pay on the night. Bookings close 11 June 2004.
I have information for those who wish to nominate for District Governor for Rotary year 2006 – 2007. Nominations are now open and close 2 July 2004
Have a successful week.
President Keith
