Indian food tonight, with pappadams, nuts, curry and rice, and dessert that delightfully explode in your mouth. And outside it was cold.
Tonight your good President presented her Powerpoint presentation about Interplast. A revamp on the last one of a few years ago, but equally showing how well Rotary gives to others.
Interplast provides Surgical and Rehabilitation services to those who would otherwise not have the surgery, due to lack of access, lack of money and lack of facilities
Dr John Oswald, the Chair of the the District 9780 Interplast Committee is an Anaesthetist and has participated in countless operations in countries in the Pacific rim. The Interplast Committee has been conducting a raffle to raise funds for another surgical team and we have made it! At District Changeover someone from our district, in fact 2 people, are going to win a travel voucher to the tune of$3500 each. So if you get the call - congratulations and thank you for supporting such an important program .
$3500 each. So if you get the call - congratulations and thank you for supporting such an important program.
We have 2 people on the "not so well list" now after a Stroke (but both are getting better), so when we meet in a fortnight you will be offered to have your Eyes, Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure and Heart Rate checked. Be there or be square.
It is with great sadness that the club received the news that past member Peter Hehir past away Thursday morning following a long battle with Leukaemia. Despite the constant battle with his illness, in true Peter spirit he fought to the end and was still able to manage a round of golf as recently as two weeks ago.
Peter was a dedicated and energetic member of our club and a driving force behind our highly successful Motor Show who will be sadly missed.
Our thoughts go out to Sue and family.
Peter's memorial Service will be held on Thursday 16 June 10am at Tuckers Chapel Barrabool Hills Centre , 4-46 Province Boulevard Highton .
The family Funeral notice requests that " in lieu of flowers , donations in memory of Peter , may be made to the Leukaemia Foundation"

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

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.
