President's Report No 46

 

Hi Everyone,

Last week's meeting was a great refresher for us in all things ClubRunner & My Rotary. Thanks again to Howard Randall & Greg Plumridge for running the session🙌

We also had the last Board Meeting of my Presidency 😢and members should have received an update on matters discussed for your information📮

This week's meeting sees us learning about all things Insurance with Don Shields-District Insurance Officer. So jump online...you might be surprised by what you learn🧐

I look forward to seeing you all online.

Stay safe & stay home so we can get back to some kind of normalcy.
 
Maggie will soon be in contact with us all regarding host allocations for our Changeover on 5th July. There will no doubt need to be some reductions in numbers for each home given the tightening restrictions fro Victorians today.
 
Please get in touch if restrictions are impacting on you & don't be afraid to reach out🥰

Yours in Rotary Service,
Kelly

Make-Ups......it's Never Been Easier
 
 
Here's a challenge for everyone...….in these "different" times in which we are living there are more and more Clubs now holding on-line meetings so now it's easier than it's ever been to do a make-up.smiley
 
You can do them from the comfort of your own home and you don't even have to get dressed up.laugh
 
Let's have a club challenge to see who can do a make up form the most interesting city. Be sure to grab a screen shot of your meeting and send to me for the bulletin.
 
What a great way to meet other Rotarians from around the world and to find out how they are living through the COVID-19 lockdowns.
 
To make it easy the Rotary Club of Mount Lawley in WA have begun compiling a list of Clubs who are now holding On-Line Meetings to view the list click the link below.
 
 
Good Luck with the Challenge and I
