Notes from the President.
We had another enjoyable meeting at the Canterbury Neighbourhood Centre on Monday night and it was pleasing to see an almost complete complement of members, with the skiers from Japan and Canada having returned safely.
Instead of an external speaker, Nora gave a poignant report from Tallangatta and described the destruction of property and countryside in the area. Many families are left without anything and as a club we need to be working on ways to help. We then had an introduction to one of our new members Fiona Anderson with Val introducing her. Fiona has been a member for approximately 6 months, having come our way via Rotary Radio. She gave an inspiring talk about the difficulties of prospering in the musical world, and her achievements at Yooralla. All of this took place after a delicious menu of chicken and tomato fettuccine, with a lovely green salad. Thanks again to Pam and Philip.
Our planning for the barbecues both at Bunnings and KIESER is going nicely. I would like to think that we could have several more quiz masters for the North Balwyn quiz night on 12 March and I really am imploring anyone to come along. We also have a small number of women coming along to the International Women’s Day breakfast, also on 12th March, and hopefully once again we may have a few more additions before then.
Club members are embracing the Teams concept and on Monday night the Community Team and Communications Team had their first meeting. We will learn what eventuated as the weeks go past.
On Rotary issues, RIMERN is crying out for help, and the board would be grateful if a member could volunteer for the Vocational board position.
Wishing you all a happy week and we’ll see you at the Harp on Monday!
