Guest Speaker - Keiron O’Donoughue - Introduced by: His dad
Keiron spoke about his ongoing Retail Sales / Management Career spanning 10 years in a Music Shop, a Bottlo in Campbelltown, a variety of Dan Murphy Stores, and more recently at Priceline.
Keiron shared lots of anecdotes about ‘shrinkage’ aka theft, ranging from armed holdups to shop-stealing. He also spoke very carefully about the variety of ‘customers’ involved in shop-stealing - ranging from the ‘obvious suspects’ to ‘Upper North Shore matrons’, highlighting some deficiencies in electronic surveillance and a lower level of follow up by ‘Law Enforcement’ than may be expected.

The Object of Rotary
The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as the basis of worthy enterprise and in particular, to encourage and foster:
1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. 2. High ethical standards in business & professions; the recognition of all useful
occupations; & dignifying of each Rotarians occupation as an opportunity to service society.
3. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarians personal, business and community life.
4. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
The Four-Way Test
Of the things we think, say or do: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
The Rotary Grace
Oh, Lord and Giver of all good, We thank thee for our daily food May Rotary friends and Rotary ways, Help us to serve thee all our days.
Invocation
For life, for health and the spirit to serve Rotary, for faith, for freedom and good fellowship - we give thanks.
