PRESIDENT’S COMMENT

I thoroughly enjoyed our last meeting, especially seeing theextent of what our great club is doing. There are many thingsgoing on, however I will mention some of these:

GSE – we have Kerrie in Malaysia leading the team, andTony McKenna is an active member of the district GSE commit-tee

Our Sculptures project – well on the way to becoming areality with the great work being done by Greg and Martin. Isee this as becoming our “Signature Community Project”

Another successful Masters golf parking fundraiser – thanks to Roy and his team of volunteers. We also had a“leaflet hand -out team” handing out information on our Sabuproject and promoting our Charity Golf day.

With our webmaster David continuing to do a sterling job,our website is getting better and better. It is also now fittedwith a “donate now” button, so we can receive donationsonline

Judi is busy organising the Bunnings sausage sizzle for 24 th December – volunteers needed! Adrian has many things happening in Community, with a

stand at our local Concourse shopping centre on 24 Nov andthe Concourse festival in December. Also we contributed halfthe cost for a special wheelchair which was presented to theBeaumaris Bowls Club on 23 Nov. This was organised by MalParks (photos?).

Heather has an excellent rollup for our fellowship nightthis week, which is a local production of popular TV show, TheVicar of Dibley. She is also organising our BRAGG golf andBBQ evening at Patterson Lakes Country Club on 5 December.

Trish will give a presentation at Mentone Girls SecondaryCollege on Interact.

International are busy discussing with other Rotary clubsways to assist Pastor Franz on Sabu Island.

Vratka has, through her own efforts, raised a significantamount of funds which she has sent off to Peter Gray’sCCASVA project in Cambodia. Well done Vratka.

It was a wonderful to have Sallie Geary attend our meeting.We were able to return to her some of her “earnings” fromthe Masters car parking, which will go towards her expensesfor her upcoming exchange trip to Europe. We hope that wecan keep in touch with this delightful young lady. It was also apleasure to have Roy Norris, Judy Porrit, Sherril Duffy, as wellas Pat and Shirley as our guests.

The station has no modern conveniences. Participantshave to cut wood to heat water and to fire thestoves. They learn wood work and metalwork usingtraditional techniques as well as preparing and serv-ing meals.
