Presidents Report No 27

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bulletin No 27

From the President

 

Hello everyone and thanks to so many of you who came along for fish and chips at Cosy Corner last Monday.  It was a perfect evening weather-wise and with so many there, a really good Rotary event.
Happy Birthday to Dorothy and Darrel. Even without a match or lighter to light the candles, it was a privilege to help celebrate your birthdays.
 
Night Jar Market parking – volunteers please
At our Cosy Corner gathering we asked for additional volunteers as parking attendants at Spring Creek Reserve for every Thursday this month. We need at least six parking marshals each night in case the parking volume is at capacity, as it was last Thursday (5th). A record income day for Rotary, but the five in attendance was not enough.
If you are able to help out please contact Brian Mynott directly. If we have more than needed, Brian will excuse you prior to the day.
Better we have more than six rostered and then if the volume of parking is not so large we can allow some of us to depart.
If you are not familiar with the job specification - you need to be fit enough to be on your feet directing cars and interacting with people for up to four hours.
 
Summarised below, some from memory, is how the roster presently looks.
If any of you rostered folk can't attend, or if any of you who are not rostered are able to come along, please contact Brian direct.
 
  • Thurs' 12/1; B Mynott, Ben Smith, Bruce Smith, G Dawson, A Anderson, T Brown, G McNamara.
  • Thurs' 19/1; B Mynott, H Randall, Ben Smith, Bruce Smith, T Brown, T Pickles, G Plumridge.
  • Thurs' 26/1; B Mynott, H Randall, T Brown.
 
Joint meeting with Grovedale – Waurn Ponds Rotary Club
A reminder that we are not meeting this Monday 16th, but rather on Wednesday 18 January with the Rotary Club of Grovedale – Waurn Ponds at Rice Village, 6.00pm for 6.15pm.  This is a partner’s night. 
If you and / or your partner are not able to attend, please apologise in the normal way by phoning 5222 2022.
 
RYDA – a note and request from RYDA Geelong Committee President Wayne Pecar
Happy New Year RYDA supporters. (Rotary Youth Driver Awareness)
With both Bellarine Secondary College and Geelong Lutheran College booked to attend RYDA on Thursday February 16th, we need to get organised.
There will be a meeting for RYDA committee members and all interested Rotarians at 11am on Monday January 16th at our house at 4 Pardalote Close Point Lonsdale. I realise that a daytime meeting will not suit everyone so please let me know your preferences for future meetings and I will attempt to accommodate you.

Dinner Meeting Registration & Apologies

MEETING APOLOGIES - What do I do?

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.
