THE COG - RCM Meeting 1659 Bulletin 14 February 2018

From the President: 9/2/2018

Despite the heat, the RCM Club meeting last week was well attended by members, friends and family. Our

guest speaker was Dr. Ian Zajac, a CSIRO Research Scientist and Provisional Psychologist (and son-in law

of our own President Elect, Paul Haylock). Ian works with a variety of industry and other partners on research

projects focussing on substantiating nutritional and dietary interventions for health benefits and has

undertaken large scale research trials focussed on improving health-protective behaviours (e.g., cancer

screening). His presentation on Men’s Health was enlightening and appreciated by all present. It is hoped

that Ian will give a similar presentation to members of the Community Shed later in the year.

Exciting news from Barry Geiger this week, who is co-ordinating the Thorndon Park Miniature Railway

Proposal which he has previously presented to our Club. The Miniature Railway Proposal (Option 3) for the

Railway was approved by Campbelltown Council on 6th Feb. A meeting of "all interested persons" in the

railway will be held at the Council Rooms on Thursday, February 15th at 7.00pm. Barry is particularly

keen to have as many RCM members present as possible to lend support.

Our Club is celebrating the Year of the Dog in style with dinner booked for members and partners at the

Eastern Gardens Restaurant, Norwood Cinema Complex on 28 February. Payment is now due so please

Direct Debit or contact Peter Mayer asap – don’t miss out as it is sure to be a fun night. On another note if

you are planning on attending the Districts 9500 and 9520 Combined Conference (23 – 25 March) you will

need to be quick to register if you haven’t already done so! Standard Registration closes Feb 14th. Visit the

Conference website at http://barossa2018.org.au (includes Registration Link).

A great opportunity awaits those Rotarians who would like the opportunity to meet the World President of

Rotary, Ian Riseley, on 10th March at the Murray Bridge Town Hall commencing at 3pm. Any members who

would like to share a ride to the event please contact me.

With the RCM Board meeting scheduled for 13th February our Club meeting the next evening will be a

Committee night and also Valentines Day. Space has been booked at the Rezz, following the meeting, for

members and any partners or friends who would like to celebrate the day.

Social Day Cruise on the 'One & All' - March 2018

Following a very successful Youth Sailing Experience voyage to Port Lincoln, some Rotary Clubs expressed an interest in taking part in a more relaxed, social, sail for their members and friends on the 'One & All.' The inaugural February twilight cruise proved very popular and booked out quickly, leaving many people disappointed.

We are very happy to announce that another social cruise has been organised on Sunday, March 4th 2018, departing from Port Adelaide at 10:00 am and returning at 3:00 pm. The Day Sail includes delicious on board catering, tea, coffee and cool drinks as we cruise around the Gulf! The cost will be $100 per head, dependent on our filling the ship, which can carry 40 passengers.

Positions on this cruise are now on sale to all Rotarians and their friends.

Please distribute this information around your Club and in your Bulletin. This is an ideal Club social event and you will be supporting an exciting new Rotary Youth program. Book promptly to avoid disappointment! Link to bookings
