​Duty Roster

  • If you are rostered and be unable to attend the meeting, please contact the person doing your role in the following week(s) and arrange a swap. It is strongly advised to inform Neville.
  • If you are aware of an absence beyond the time frame of the above then refer to the 26 Week Roster and arrange a swap with another doing your role. Again, please advise Neville of your swaps.
  • If you are aware of future absences, beyond the 26 Week Roster, please inform Neville so, he does not roster you during your absence.
  • Neville is not an information conduit; you must also message Ros Hogan.

District Assembly for 2023/24 Board

​The District Assembly is going to be on Sat 15th April at the Epping Boys High School for only half a day and then the rest online.
Yes, I know this clashes with our first Bunning BBQ at Castle Hill so we will have to get all members to help.
For New Board Members, District Assembly is normally an overview on a number of topics and then specific training/workshops for each Portfolio.
Hopefully you should get an invite directly.
Highly recommended to attend.
Thanks everyone.
Neville

eFun Run starting 30th April


​Hello from the Rotary Club of North Ryde,
Just a reminder of our eFun Run starting on the 30th April. We would love you to support us by joining in or sponsoring one of our members. Youth Mental Health is an ongoing issue but COVID has certainly made things worse. It's a challenge in so many ways and, in a situation very dear to my heart, it manifests itself particularly in schools. 
 
Best regards
​Bob Selinger
Secretary
The Rotary Club of North Ryde

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.
Picture
Don't need:
  • ​to be invited
  • to be of a certain age
  • to be male
  • to be a business person
  • to be retired
  • to attend meetings every week
  • to be available on weekends.

Must have:
  • ​a sense of humour
  • a willingness to give back to your community
  • a willingness to pitch in when required
  • some time available to help out on the occasional weekend event
  • an interest in the life of the West Pennant Hills and Cherrybrook communities
  • a desire to contribute in some way to the running of the Club.

​If you would like to come along as a guest to see what it is all about just call either: -
Carol Russell (0418 431 157) or President Janelle (0412 064 336)
