Rob hosted the meeting this week.
His thought for the day
How true is that. Though we did have a talk amongst ourselves as we discussed a verbal survey ahead of our attendance at the Boroondara Volunteers expo.
Matters in the interest of Rotary
- Elizabeth asked for volunteers to transport between 2 and 4 Rypen students to Malmesbury
- This year the Club is sponsoring students to attend RYPEN. We had none last year but two the year before. I am calling for volunteers to transport the students from Kew High School who we are sponsoring to RYPEN at DOXA Camp Malmsbury on Friday March 22nd (to arrive by 5pm) or return from DOXA on Sunday March 24th (leave there at 2pm). We would need one set for each way. The Sunday drivers are invited to lunch before the return trip. The address is 1000 Vaughn Springs Road Drummond North, just outside Malmsbury approximately 100km from Melbourne. Last time we had students attending I took them and stayed for the camp but I can’t this time as I am involved at PETS at Bendigo the same weekend.
The urgency is that the deadline for the applications is March 5th and the transport information, including drivers and their wwcc number, has to be included in the application.
If you can help, please give your name and WWCC number along with your availability (Friday or Sunday or either) to Elizabeth Shepherd (0419 121 059 or elizabethshepherd23@hotmail.com) by Friday March 1st. At the time of writing we may have a volunteer for the return trip but get in touch with Elizabeth anyway
- A reminder of the Boroondara Antiques Fair on March 24th - for those not assisting at the Camp Getaway working Bee it's your chance to find some antiques or even get yours valued - Hosted by RC Kew
No speaker this week but, as mentioned above, we did have a survey of the state of the club and ideas moving forward. Well hosted by Rob there were a lot of ideas put forward which will be collated and discussed further.
Do you have any photos from Rotary activity which are worth sharing? Please send them to Lili-Ann and she will collate them as well.
