President's Report No 4

Monday 23rd July 2018

Having arrived back from the Northern Hemisphere less than 24 hours previously, Gail & I had a very enjoyable evening at the Christmas in July function at the Minya Winery. The night was full of fun - the food, wine and company were excellent as usual.

Many thanks to Jan Emmett who organised the whole shebang!

This week is my first appearance at The Lions Village as President so I will be a tad apprehensive but no doubt your camaraderie & support will make it easier. Apart from setting out my aspirations for the Club over the coming Rotary year the meeting will centre around a Club Assembly, the main aim being to determine which Members will belong to which Committee and to assess current projects as well as initiating future projects. To this end, on the night I will send around a printed form so that you can all nominate your favoured committee.

Please give this some thought now as this will help the process run smoothly.

See you all then.

President Trevor

Thanks to all who came and made or 2018 Christmas in July event such a successful night.

Over 33,000 members have signed in to use Rotary Global Rewards. To raise awareness of this program, you can:

Recommend Rotary Global Rewards to all club members. They can visit www.rotary.org/globalrewards from a computer or download the Rotary Club Locator App to use the program on mobile devices.
Post a "Rewards" link to www.rotary.org/globalrewards on your club and district websites. This gives members easier access to Rotary Global Rewards.
Encourage club members to post offers on Rotary Global Rewards.
Suggest that club members help the program grow in their communities by asking local merchants to post offers.

VERY IMPORTANT - Whoozin The New Weekly Meeting Book-in System

We are now fully operational with our new system for registering for our weekly dinner meetings. Called Whoozin, this program is used by other local Rotary Clubs with great success.

To make it easy for everyone I have prepared a Whoozin User Manual which is stored on Clubrunner under "Club Documents" that you will be able to print off if you wish.

In Summary the way it will work is:-

You will receive an initial email invitation each Monday for the following week's meeting.
You can immediately accept or decline, leave until later.
You will receive a reminder email on the Friday Prior
You will have until Midnight Sunday to register your RSVP and can change your decision right up until the closing time.
You can register up to 5 guests
You can specify any Special Dietary requirements
Please Note that if you do not register your intentions you will be charged for the dinner fee.

If you have any problems please free to contact myself Greg Plumridge 0418521321 or Michael Reed 0418524315 for details on how to work the program.

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.

How to Book in for our Dinner Meeting?

For Members, Partners and guests of Members

you will receive email invitations to each meeting via Whoozin.
It will be your responsibility to RSVP using Whoozin by Midnight on the day prior to the meeting.

In this instance you can notify Richard Mierzejewski at LET Surfcoast on 03-5261 2777 by 4.00pm on the Saturday prior to the Monday Meeting.
Please Note there is NO Answering Service on this number.
Remember if you are bringing guests or your partner (to a non-partner night) you need to RSVP for the extra number of person/s who will be attending.
If no RSVP is registered as per the above process, the absentee member will be issued with an invoice to pay the Club the usual dinner fee of $25 for your non-attendance, and/or that of your partner if it is an official Partner's Night.
