This week we have a presentation on the Variety Club and “the bash” by Sandra Lukin and Deb Sampson who have been long-time participants in this annual charity event. I believe they are about to undertake some restructure of their original touring party, replacing two existing team members with their own husbands! Surely this is a risky business for all concerned!! I’m sure we’ll get all the ‘gen’ on the night
I expect we will have a very interesting talk, with lots of photos to back up the stories they have to tell.
Last week I attended the Community Service Committee meeting where we had a lengthy discussion on the pros and cons of RYDA and eventually had 3 members offering to be a part of the steering committee to instigate things. Hope there are some more from the other committees.
I’m steadily becoming aware that this 2009-10 Rotary year is being despatched at a fair rate of knots now, as there are only 3 months to organise a pretty full calendar of things to do.
David Forbes is making sure we can have a good assortment of interesting speakers and some different venues, during April, May and June.
I’m also trying to sort out our annual break-up at Nyroca on the weekend of the 19/20 or 26/27 June. Hopefully I am able to confirm a date soon, as I am aware that some members are travelling early this year!
Thanks to Pablo for your expanded talk last Tuesday evening. It really showed you enjoyed the weekend together with the other students at Nyroca and it reinforces just what the Rotary Youth Exchange is all about; International peace, goodwill and friendship, all while involving yourself in a new language and culture. To top it all off you showed everyone that you can also learn new personal and sporting skills and increase your fitness, whilst still eating everyone out of house and home!
Keep up the good work, mate.
I’m away again as write this week’s Patter; getting my annual dose of exhaust fumes amongst good friends and renewed acquaintances at the Clipsal 500 for 4 days.
Back home for a board meeting Monday night and onto organising official club interviews for applicants for RYE outbound students for January 2011.
