The Perfect Murder - Now includes comments from Max
Hi everyone
Clive Denmark is a past president of our club, who relocated to the Central Coast about eight years ago and subsequently joined The Entrance club. He is now also a past president of that club.
Whilst at our club he was one of the members that instigated our “Giant Book Sale” and accepted the challenge of managing these annual sales until he relocated to “The Coast”.
He has continued to support our club on numerous fronts, including the provision of commercial recycling bins for our book sales at no cost, a significant saving for our club.
Subsequently, on the rare occasion he seeks our support, we do our best to reciprocate.
Those that were contacted by Clive have already indicated their readiness to support, which we are now extending to all members.
Given it’s about a one-hour drive, we will try to organise:
If you can support, please advise Max (email preferably) and transfer $45.00pp into our club’s General Account.
Please identify your payment with your surname and murder.
Ideally, we need numbers by mid-July.
The following email from Clive provides additional details of the night:
WPH & C Rotary club kindly supported a previous theatre night that we ran at the Woy Woy Little Theatre Company about 5 years ago
The Entrance Club has booked out the Peninsula Theatre, Woy Woy (110 seats) for the evening of Friday 18th August.
We are endeavouring to get corporate sponsors to cover the cost of booking the theatre and for the champagne & finger food that will be available
The play that night is "the Perfect Murder" by Jeffery Archer & has the added interest for our members that our incoming President Gordon Crawford is playing the part of the Police Inspector.
MR Google says the journey time is just over an hour from Cherrybrook (it’s around 30 minutes from the Entrance!)
Barry Freeman & Janet Hamer (who now lives close by at Blackwall) have both expressed interest in coming.
We have not yet determined the recipient for funds but it is likely to be a domestic violence of Health on the streets related project.
We would very much appreciate your support. If my memory serves me right 2 carsful travelled north to support us last time!!!

Given it’s about a one-hour drive, we will try to organise:
- Car pooling
- Dinner, possibly at the Woy Woy Hotel
- For those that may elect to do the return drive on Saturday, details of a local motel
If you can support, please advise Max (email preferably) and transfer $45.00pp into our club’s General Account.

Clean-up Australia will continue to be a focus for the Club next Rotary year.
Clean-up Australia has just released a booklet with 101 Small Steps to Reducing Waste in Your Life. It is focused on plastic and is a good follow-up to my International Convention content presentation last Monday evening about plastic pollution.
“It’s almost July - which of course means ‘Plastic Free July’. Does that sound daunting? Transitioning to a completely plastic-free lifestyle overnight would be a challenging feat for most of us! But what if we all used July as a catalyst, and each took small steps towards reducing our plastic footprint? July could be a roadmap for year-round changes - we could make a real effort to actively seek alternatives, reduce unnecessary plastic packaging and make sustainable swaps. Remember, it’s all about starting small, and aiming big and we've got 101 handy tips right here to get you started!”
The TV program that put the spotlight on Australia's waste problems returns with a provocative new season next month! Will you join the War on Waste and take your reusable coffee cup, cutlery or containers to your local cafe on #BYOFriday?

If you would like a new BMW make a donation to Clean-up Australia
A fab way to support Clean Up Australia is to buy a ticket in the WIN WIN raffle - you could win a fully electric BMW SUV and we win with every ticket sold, as each $10 ticket means $5 comes straight to Clean Up Australia!

What it takes to be a Rotarian
There are members of the community who may have some misunderstandings about what it takes to be a Rotarian.
We are always looking for new members and, in fact, it is new people joining that keeps us alive as a Service club. From time to time I hear people say things that make me think they don't consider joining or even visiting Rotary for all the wrong reasons.
This article is about the things you don't need to join Rotary, and the things you do, just in case you are not sure. The other thing you should know is that we are a very friendly bunch of men and women and we have a lot of fun, as well as achieving some pretty good things in the community.
