Guest Speaker - President Paul
Meeting 790 – 1 May 14
Welcome:
Apologies:
BBQ CHAMPIONS!!
Pres Paul Roger welcomed everyone to meeting 790. There were no
visitors tonight – except the lovely supporter, Vera.
Pres Paul invited Glenda Wahlert to recite the Charge to Australia and
Bruce gave the toast to Rotary International. Bruce toasted Rotary
International and in particular, the Rotary Club of Chico in California
(maybe that is where they invented chico rolls??) This club had an
amazing number of members but he was too quick for me and I didn’t
get it down. Ask Bruce for the details.
Apologies from Lizzie, Mary-Rose, Anne D., Cathy H., David B. Of course, David
Stevens continues to sun himself somewhere in Europe while on leave. Been a
while since we had a postcard, David!
NO GUEST SPEAKER TONIGHT
No this looks more like a Jerra BBQ!
Jerraganda Business:
From the Desk of the President:
President Paul thanked all for their efforts at the ANZAC Day BBQ.
Pres Paul and Sue tried to attend the District lunch function on Saturday 19 April as part of the World’s Greatest Meal to end Polio. However, they heard he was coming and called it off. Forgot to tell him? Oops! So he turned up. Sorry about that, Paul!
President Paul also welcomed back Lynne McP. and Ian W. Good to see you both back and well.

OTHER CLUB REPORTS…….
COMMUNITY REPORT by Jan Pettigrew
Jan also thanked people for the BBQ and reported that the club had made a profit of $425 to be donated to Legacy at the end of the Rotary year. What a great club effort! Chris and Terry are the new team in regards to cooking eggs and Glenda was a very successful first-time cook – still only has apprentice status but I am sure there will be a job offer soon!
CLUB SERVICE REPORT by Paul Robey
Mega Swim preparations going well. More from Peter Jarvis latter in the bulletin.
Need to discuss whether we have a meeting on the week of the Music Festival due to heavy catering commitments.
Club Grants process coming up and we need to put in for them. Paul to try and organise two different grants. There was discussion re ideas. BBQ? Push up double gazebo? Board to decide at next meeting.

There are 2 candidates for RYPEN.
NYSF closes on 30th May. See Lyn for details if you
have someone in mind. Entry is on-line.

Please be on time
Wear a Rotary shirt as there are no free shirts this year
Went over the roster
Paul Robey also said the plans were going very well and management seemed to be much better than previous years
In fact, Paul was a happy chappy!!
4. Discussion on a new club shirt was led by Pres. Paul who had done his homework at Working Gear in Fyshwick. Pictures of styles were circulated and discussed and those present decided on the Nitro polo shirt and the Core jacket. Navy and yellow. Meeting voted on this. Pres. Paul indicated that the first shirt would be free to members due to the large amounts of money sitting in the Admin account from market tables sales. That got a cheer!
THE SERGEANT
Sue Roger stepped into the enormous hole left by Mary-Rose’s absence – but she did OK, Mary-Rose – honest!!
JOKER……..
Chris told two short jokes that only just passed muster! Ticket was drawn by Vera and happened to be ………..Chilli. Fortunately (for others!) he drew the 8 of diamonds but….it was next to the joker card. How close can you be! Joker gave $39 to add to the kitty. It lives another day!
Market Mistress: MIA
No Markets report this week. Don’t forget to send to the Market’s
Mistress Anne. Kerry & Lynne McPherson and Terry are rostered
for this week.
(I think! May have missed that detail!)
ATTENDANCE:
Bruce was pleased to report 87% attendance but still think he fudged it a bit! Best for a while! Everyone noted how quiet it was without the “girls” at the end! Come back soon!! We miss you!

OUR HISTORY
In 1998 the Rotary Clubs of Queanbeyan and Queanbeyan West Rotary decided to sponsor a new Rotary Club based in Jerrabomberra. Bill Lilley, John Snedden and Peter Jarvis from Queanbeyan West took on the joint roll of mentor (Peter Jarvis went on to become our Charter President).
Advertising for potential members began in March 1998. After a successful
campaign, the Club was chartered on 18 November 1998 with 20 members. We are an unusual club as we have a very high proportion of female Members.
Initial meetings were held at the Jerrabomberra General Store—the venue was very
good until we grew in numbers. We then moved to the Jerrabomberra Community Centre for a few years. We now meet at the Jerrabomberra Public School Staff Room, on Thursdays (6.15 for 6.30 pm). As at 26 Jan 2014 the Club has 26 members — 11 female and 15 male. Included in this are seven married couples. We also have 4 supporters of the Rotary Club.
(Charter) President Peter Jarvis ran competitions to select a name for our Club
bulletin and a design for the Club banner. There were some good and (very) bad suggestions. Pam Spencer suggested the winning bulletin name; Jerraganda. The banner design by David Stevens was eventually selected. The design incorporates a goose and the windmill associated with the original entrance to the estate.
Life’s a beach!!
