Topic is “Are our institutions such as our democratic parliamentary system, police, judicial, religious, education and media as strong and respected as 50 years ago?”. After this each Club President or their representative will ask a question of either Julian or Greg. The cost is $35 per person which includes a $5 drink. It is a 6 for 6.30 pm start. Each President will speak for 2 to 3 minutes on a successful project, a process that works, or whatever they choose, but maximum of 3 minutes. Dinner at 7.00 pm. The meeting will finish at 8.30 pm.

The Garage Sale
We have just had our best and most successful Garage Sale on the weekend of 7&8 October raising a record gross - north of $35k.
Excellent Project Management and a large number of dedicated volunteers, some putting in hours of effort, in the weeks before the weekend contributed to this result. |

A short report from me tonight, mostly reminders to book in for club events occurring before the end of the year.
I express my thank you to the Glenhaven Club for extending an invitation to join their meeting tonight. A good time was had by the 29 West Pennant Hills and Cherrybrook members and guests present. Our guests tonight were Rotarian partners Celine and Patrica, prospective members, Vicky Lock, and Senthill Kumal Palaniswamy. Ann Turner (Wife of the club’s charter president Trevor) and Fredrike Heynen, her exchange student from 1981-82 while Trevor was a member of the Galston Club. Alick Grant from the Burntisland & Kinghorn Club in Scotland joined us for the second time during his holiday in Cherrybrook. He is going home later this week. The guest speaker was Dianne Hooke, Head of Campus at St Gabriel’s School, speaking about autism. Don’t forget to let Tony Coote know by Nov 5th if you are attending the St Gabriel’s School Tour on Nov 2st. See Bulletin for full details. I remind members to let me know if you can help with the “Anna’s cows” Raffle at Cherrybrook Shopping Centre. Nov 7 to 11. First prize is a wooden rocking horse (value $575), 2nd prize is wooden skittles and third prize $50 cash. Thank you to those who purchased tickets from Anne tonight. Sales are off to a good start. |
