Notes from the President
It was pleasing to see a larger group of members attend our second meeting. There are still members out on the ski slopes in various countries, and in the Victorian countryside, and they should all return later on in the month. We had a delicious meal of chicken Parma and salad, thanks again to Pam and Philip.
A very stimulating presentation was given by Hannah Reid and Frank McCormack, who gave us information about the Kieser exercise technology and rationale. Their important message was the need for everyone to remain strong as they age, as this has major benefits on ones health and longevity. They also provided us all with a $100 voucher to encourage us to attend even if it’s just for an assessment.
Once again, the topic of teams/ committees was discussed. The teams have been formed and were discussed at the board meeting. It is now up to the leaders of the team to develop the processes which will enable all members to have a greater involvement in club activities and also club management.. It is also important for all club members to participate in coming up with ideas for activities and fundraising, and not just leave this to the team leaders or board members.
Steve collected his groceries for the Surrey Hills neighbourhood Centre and and and Wayne will deliver these later this week. There will be regular collections during the year.
Ant has also made progress in organising a visit to Camp Getaway which hopefully will occur later on in the year when the weather changes for the better.. There are other activities which have been discussed, for example the International Women’s Day breakfast, and I will talk about these more next week.
Grant King was the happy birthday boy who received his raffle ticket but unfortunately was not successful in winning the prize. We also wished Michelle a successful knee surgery and will see her back at our meetings by mid March.
I’d like to remind everyone else of the conference in Horsham on the 27th to 29 March. I do understand that many of you have attended conferences in the past but it would be nice to have a good representation from the Canterbury Rotary club.
Keep well until next week.
Cheers
