Hello,
Another busy week starting off with our Annual General Meeting at Kithbrooke Park on Monday night. We moved through the formalities then moved onto the special items which saw the club members vote unanimously to adopt the new Rotary International Constitution and Club By-laws.
PE Sue Currie was called upon to introduce her Board of Directors for 2025-2026:

Ray Ayres gave an update on his planned trip to Lese Olai in PNG this coming week.
Linda Neale updated us on the Community Walk to Say No to Family & Domestic Violence (see her report and pictures further in the Bulletin) that was held the following morning. She also reminded members to bring donations for Torquay Food Aid next week (non perishables for Xmas hampers). Plus a call up for bbq & resale shed volunteers (thanks to all who put their names down).
Daryl Lee thanked members for purchasing raffle tickets at the previous meeting - over $5000 was raised in support of Say No to Domestic Violence by the Strathmore Men’s Shed.
It was great to see a few members who have been travelling, back at the meeting. Bunnings BBQ this Sunday - please check the roster for this and upcoming events.
Looking forward to learning about our newish member Ray Ayers this coming Monday night.
Regards, Kelly
