It’s the Sunday morning of Labour Weekend and as a write this report I have one last little job on the Chip van before it has its first outing following the refurbishment. It’s looking amazing both inside and out, with a huge thankyou to all the Rotarians who contributed to this project. It would however be remiss of me if I didn’t acknowledge the contribution that Doug Ridley has made on many days over the last couple of months to see this project to completion. Thankyou Doug.
We have made a small change to the speakers roster and we will be meeting this week as we have a speaker who will challenge our emotions and perspective on life. Dan Griffin is on a crusade to prolong his life for as long as he can so he can spend valuable time with his young family. If you would like more information before Thursday, then have a read of the article in the Southland Times.
We have decided to put our auction night back by a week to the 24th of November, so please get stuck in this week and help Sandra and her team to pull together a great list of items to auction.
For those of you who weren’t present at last weeks meeting, Brian presented a discussion document on behalf of the directors regarding how and when we meet, the frequency and the cost of meals which have gone up to $25 effective this week. The document is included in this bulletin.
A couple of members have expressed a concern that we should not be moving away from weekly meetings, however this is a discussion document for all members, and nothing will be confirmed until everyone has had their say.
There may not be much of a change in the leaderboard with the vast majority going NZ & SA but there are a couple hoping to jump a few places on the ladder. Still 12 points available next week with 4 for the Three vs Four and 8 for the Final.
See you ThursdayRegards Don
