Deborah announced that the board had agreed to the donation of $2000 to the Salvation Army to go towards the supply and fitting of a roller door to the shed at the Sugarbag Road property in which we will be storing our trailer, a very worthy cause indeed as Gerry Swan will attest!
A list went around for those who wish to attend the evening at "Il Piccolo's" on the 28/8/13 for a three course meal costing $30 per person, a fellowship event.
Ann and Deborah will attend Meriden Downs College to satisfy the school's request to conduct interviews for prospective job applicants,this this a training exercise and I hope the two Rotarians pass.(ha ha)
Our annual fees were also discussed and from what I gather there was a reduction on the table for family members,I will advise readers of the full ramifications when I find out more.
Helen advised us that there will be a cluster meeting at the Caloundra Golf Club on 5/9/13 which will be attended by Trevor Taylor the DG,the evening will start at 6pm. sharp and finish at 8 pm.,cost is $21.00. Each club will be allowed to conduct a raffle as a fundraiser and this meeting will replace the meeting on Tuesday 10Th.
Eric Wood who was DG 2010/11 in district 9600 took over the role as TRF from Michael Gregory and although the term is for three years he inherited Michael's last year making his term four.
Eric went into depth on how to raise additional funds for projects both overseas and within our own district.Some concepts were quite novel and required a little creative thought especially in applying for grants in our our district by asking overseas clubs to become involved!
Deborah thanked Eric for his presentation .
