Pres. Rosemary's Report - 08 March 2021
|
How fantastic to be back almost to normality! A fabulous meeting to celebrate International Women’s Day. It was so lovely to catch up with everyone – Sergeant John (who was brilliant by the way!) called us “rowdy Rotarians!”
We learnt from Janine Drummond about The Hills Chapter of Soroptimist International – an organisation remarkably similar to Rotary. Education, public speaking, drought relief, pamper packs – the list goes on. Thank you Janine and Jenny. There is much happening in our club and I urge you all to get involved no matter how small the input. Pop up book sale, District Conference ( you have registered, haven’t you?), friendship dinners, collecting bread tags, Zoom meetings, Rotaract Charter event on March 27, keeping April 17 afternoon free to attend our R100 celebration for unveiling a plaque at the Rotary garden….. so much! Thank you to those Rotarians and partners who assisted with Clean Up Australia. It was pleasing to note that most areas we cleaned had little rubbish – the worst area was the path from the shops to the community centre. We only collected 5 bags of rubbish! Thanks Colin Sharpe for organising it. The next 2 meetings are on Zoom and then we have a social BBQ at Heritage Park on March 29 starting at 5:00pm. Its BYO everything!! See you in person then if not before. Rosemary |

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.
