Welcome Jillian - she has leapt into our events with great gusto. Market duty and already on the medical mission to the Philippines
And also a welcome (back) to Bill who has rejoined the club - must have missed us badly Bill!
On to matters in the interest of Rotary.
- President Tony advised the club of the Business Networking breakfast being held in partnership with our sister club Camberwell. Look forward to the feedback on that event
- Alan reminded those gathered of the bi weekly lunch - David is off travelling so Alan has taken that responsibility - it was yesterday at Box Hill Golf Club
- John B confirmed that next weeks meeting is a social event at the Harp Hotel. There was a reminder out today from John to make sure you let him know if you are coming so that we have the correct booking
- Lastly a reminder that the service for Peter Evans - founder member of the club, will be held at Le Pine Kew East, 741 High St Kew East on Friday 20th October commencing at 10.30 am followed by a private cremation.
What else? Ted is looking for members to join him on the Environment committee. Feel free to reach out to him and let him know if you can help. As we know it is an avenue of focus for Rotary International. and there are a lot of things that can be done for the environment - Clean up dates, planting, reducing plastic usage...
Also a reminder from Tony to bring your recyclables along. Medicine blister packs, batteries, spectacles, the plastic tags of your bread, corks
Finally, in case you missed it!! Next weeks meeting is a social event at the Harp Hotel. 6.00pm start
