Presidents Report

September 6th 2016

Greetings everyone,

After a second bout of this debilitating flue like virus, I am now feeling better and

ready to resume my Presidential duties.

It was great to hear that we had three visiting Rotarians, Greg and Chris from Rotary

Club of Doncaster and Stuart from Rotary Club of Healesville.

The visiting Rotarians all gave a small talk about their club activities and themselves.

Stuart asked if we would help with an outgoing student in the Rotary Youth Exchange

programme.

I look forward to meet everyone at our next meeting and to welcome our guest, Assis-

tant Governor Alma Reynolds.

Don’t forget we have Directors meeting at 12.00noon this Tuesday September the 6th.

Dianne

Whitehorse Farmer’s Market Sunday morning 11th September.

APOLOGIES: Would all members please ring or email another member if they are not able to attend a regular meeting of the club, if they find they have another engagement?
