Invitation to visit RC Pennant Hills
Hi Neville,
Trust you have settled in as the president of your club. I just wanted to confirm the details of the meeting we invite you and your members to come to on Wednesday August 2nd.
We have Tim Sowden coming to speak about the Thornleigh Zig Zag Railway, which has generated a lot of interest lately.
We meet at the Pennant Hills Community Health Centre, 5 Fisher Avenue, Pennant Hills at 6.30 for a 7.00pm start. We’ll have tea and coffee available but a reminder that there is no meal available. Could you let me know a day or so before how many we can expect to join us on the night.
Regards,
David Firth

The Perfect Murder - Now includes updated comments from Max.
Hi again
An update;
We currently have ten plus four TBC, a good start but as I said Monday night a few more would be nice.
Following next Monday night’s meeting at Springfield I need to finalise numbers and report back to Clive.
Once we have our final numbers, I will book the Bayview’s bistro (let me know if you prefer to pass on the bistro) and organise carpooling.
Any questions, please give me a call.
Just spoke to Clive (Tuesday 11 July) and he requires confirmation of our numbers asap, it order to give us a block booking, thus;
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.

- There’s actually two hotels in Woy Woy, the Woy Woy Hotel and the Bayview Hotel, with the later appearing to be the better of the two.
- I have made some motel enquiries and the Mantra Ettalong Beach, appears to be the best option.

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!!!

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.
