Short words by bob ant

A busy week for Rotary is underway. On Wednesday evening I attended Moruya for a combined Club Meeting to acknowledge the hard work of the Rotarian’s , the Moruya Jockey Club and the community as we presented the proceeds of the Rotary Race Day to Deputy Mayor and Chair of Moruya Cancer Carers  Councillor Rob Pollock.

The cheques totalled more than $15,000 and took the donation to Cancer Carers to more than $51,000 in three years, – an outstanding effort. This would not be possible without the many dedicated people who worked so hard to bring it all together. Special mention goes to Vere Grey President of Batemans Bay Club,  Mike Cowden from the Moruya Jockey Club, and our own Laurelle Pacey for the great PR effort. It was a pleasure to chair the meeting.

Last night at our regular meeting, we postponed a discussion on donuts until the next Club Assembly and Board Meeting in two weeks time, due to members being away and time for some members to gather extra information.  I was the guest speaker to try to clear up some of the confusion about when you can take a photograph and when you need permission to use it. I hope the information was helpful.

This weekend is PETS (President Elect Training) in Canberra and Mike and I are off to be enlightened. As an Assistant District Governor I must also attend.

On Tuesday, all are welcome to join with us outside the SoArt Gallery in Narooma to cut a cake for Rotary’s 111th Birthday and present a cheque for $5,000 toward the cost of Solar Panels on the Kinema. If you are able, please join with me in our celebration for this great project.

Next Thursday, Dr Karin Geiselhart discusses Rotary’s response to Climate Change. Really looking forward to this and please feel free to invite partners, friends and anyone you know who wants to learn more about this area of Science.

Following on is our Markets. We have some blanks in the roster which need filling. Please call John Doyle if you can make it and haven’t put your name down.

That’s all for now, have a great weekend.
