Greetings fellow members .
Have just returned from our monthly board meeting which we accomplished in less than 90 minutes
Great input from all present with much worthwhile discussion . I see that committee leaders are working with their members to ensure we continue the smooth running and excellent atmosphere of our club .Again I encourage all committee members to be involved , provide input and fresh ideas .Committee leaders will have the opportunity to share their workings ,ideas and goals at our club assembly on Sept 11.
Next social night will be at the Federal hotel 6pm on Friday Aug 21 thanks to Jacquie`s capable organisation . There will be no morning meeting that day .
Friends of Rotary is off to a flying start as we welcomed our first four friends . Blair, Austin ,Abbey and Morgan are such bright enthusiastic young people and an absolute pleasure to have at our meetings Thank you , all four, for being our first Friends of Rotary . We have more friends to join the group in the near future . Everyone please be on the lookout for new friends and prospective members .
Thanks to those who put up their hands to help at Harlaxton State School 125 th anniversary on Aug 22 Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm . Watch this space for more info . Service director Rob has this well in hand .
