Last week's meeting notes - Scribe - Rose Pope
- Sergeant Dennis managed to open the meeting despite all the animated discussions.
- As it was Volunteer Week, for the Reflection, Rose pointed out that without volunteers for our fundraising efforts we wouldn’t function as a service club. Without this income, we wouldn’t be able to continue to help the needy - those experiencing flood, drought, domestic violence, homelessness etc. She proposed a toast to all volunteers in Rotary and elsewhere.
- Ray thought about the young Austrian who won Eurovision this year who also sings at the Vienna State Opera. So he proposed a toast to the Rotary Club of Vienna which appealed to him because it appears they party a lot.
- Noel reported on the takings at the Charles and said the Ride4Rotary was a huge success raising over $50,000 for SYFS and our club raised $754.
- Secretary Kerrie passed on a request for volunteers for the City to Surf 10 th August and the Sydney Marathon 31st August for which each volunteer would receive $100 and $80 respectively.
- Patrick updated us on Citizenship Night 11th June.
- Marilyn requested information on intended attendance on Citizenship Night and if
members could volunteer to look after a conferee.
- Ken reminded members that RYDA was running both Thursday and Friday with about 370 High School students participating. He thanked those who’d volunteered to help.
- Phil explained the information given on the District budget at the District Assembly
including proposals concerning the number of President meetings and the scale of the
Conference.
- Phil then showed members the updated format of Club Runner where he has uploaded a lot more club information.
- Rose thanked Phil for the many hours and days he’s been spending on our website.
- The wine raffle was happily won by Mal and Michael.
- The meeting closed at 7.30pm
