A hearty and delicious meal on winters meal on a chilly night. Lorraine, you've done it again. Garlic bread, Minestrone, Shepherds Pie and we finished off with Chocolate Brownies. And through the courses we enjoyed a pleasant evening where we inducted our newest Member Jess Nowson, then sat her on "the couch" with Lesley and Peter so that Mitch could cross-examine them. Peter's biggest fish ever caught was a ridiculous 37kg, Lesley has never told a lie, and Jess is looking forward to being 50!! Humph! We should have pulled out the official Rotary Polygraph machine about Jess wanting to be older.....
Our mate Mary is doing well and we send our love and encouragement for her to get better and come back home.
We will see you again next week when winter will truly have descended but a few of you will be back in the country or back on your feet after this lurgy has run it's nasty course.
Given that half of our club members were away (inc. Maggie who was ill) it was a very relaxed and laid back meeting EXCEPT if you were on couch.
Maggie promised a SURPRISE NIGHT which it was to everyone including the Chairman who only found out about it on the weekend.
The Chairman invited our newest member Jess Nowson to be on the couch with our President Elect Leslie and the evergreen Peter Bollen who were provided with an array of questions which produced many surprising answers. We all learnt Jess's birthday is in July and that we are all self invited to her 50th Birthday in Bali (we just need to remember in which year) and also that Peter had a somewhat mischievous childhood and Leslie wished she had a name without the letter "e" in it.

The Rotary Club of Drysdale is pleased to announce the launching of a new project. By joining forces with the Clue Detective Puzzle Agency, it hopes to raise funds by solving crossword puzzles. Crossword puzzles are great educational games for people of all ages, keeping the brain fit and healthy, and enhancing literacy, logic and critical thinking skills. They are also challenging and a lot of fun! Drysdale Rotary would like to invite your Club to join us in promoting the benefits of puzzling, and at the same time raise funds for your Club projects. For more information, please refer to the media release below http://cluedetectivepuzzlesonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Media-Release-Rotary-Club-of-Drysdale-Puzzle-Fundraiser.pdf

Following Changeover
Please note: The assigned Chairperson for the evening is responsible for writing a short review on the topic presented by the guest speaker of the night and for emailing the review to the Bulletin editor by noon of the following Wednesday
Notifying someone about changes to your meeting attendance is your responsibility!
Our meetings have catered dinners, so if you are unable to attend a meeting, or if your partner is unable to attend a designated Partner's Night, YOU MUST ADVISE us of your or your partner’s absence. This also applies if you are attending the meeting but not dining.
There are two ways to do this, either record the information in advance in the "Apology Book" that is available at the book in table at each meeting or telephone 03-5222-2022. An answering service operates out of hours.
All apologies must be made no later than 9.00AM on the Monday of the meeting (unless other arrangements were addressed in the Bulletin).
If no apology is recorded by that time, the absentee member will be issued with an invoice to pay the Club the dinner fee of $25 for your non-attendance, and/or that of your partner if it is an official Partner's Night.
On "Partners Nights" it is a different arrangement as it will be assumed that your partner WILL BE attending unless you apologise for them!
Remember if you are bringing guests or your partner (to a non-partner night) you need to notify us of the extra number of persons who will be attending.
Absence when away on travel is not an excuse. It is your reasonability to lodge your apology and it is recommended that this be recorded beforehand in the “Apology Book” to save you remembering each week whilst you are away.
