Club Bulletin - Issue 23 Monday 17 February 2014
Hi all
My apologies for there being no bulletin last week. My fault entirely. I put all my information together ready for Cherie then got side-tracked and didn't email it to her. By the time I realised it was too late and | didn't have access to my work documents. My column this week is going to be short so we can devote the Bulletin to upcoming events.
Please take the time to read through them and consider how you can be involved and support the members who are coordinating the particular event.
I had an enjoyable evening Tuesday when I attended Mandurah Districts Rotary Club meeting. As I had promised
them a couple of weeks ago when I attended their club I was happy to be their Guest Speaker.
On Sunday 11 May MOTHERS DAY CLASSIC. Members present at the meeting agreed that they would provide a Sausages Sizzle at this event. More details to follow later.
Robert Kelly was a Youth Exchange Student hosted by the Rotary Club of Kalgoorlie in 1974-75. He is coming to Australia later this year and will be visiting clubs who hosted him during that time.
Enjoy the rest of your week while you Engage Rotary, Change Lives.
