Bald
and Beautiful Day 5 May
Mark Kent addressed the meeting concerning arrangements for
the 5th May. Lots of jobs to be done and 5 May is fast
approaching, only two weeks to go so please get into action so
we can make this a success. Anyone who has spare time please
let Mark know so that they can be allocated jobs. The entertainment
and pampering are coming along well and we even have John
Burgess coming along for an hour to entertain.
Raffle items are needed. Please
ask people or bring along raffle items for the day as well -
some ideas are flowers, candy, wine, meal vouchers, movie
tickets, herbal teas and biscuits. We will need these items next
week so they can be wrapped and parcelled.
Toast to another club: Harry
Grace proposed a toast to the smallest club and smallest city -
Donna Texas USA - and was surprised that his research
enlightened him on such an amazing Rotarian within our midst,
Brian Knowles. He made the point that we all should have
dossiers on ourselves so that new members can see just who is in
our club. Some of Brian's
achievements have been documented on our website over the years
and these
may be seen here.
Make-ups at meetings of
other clubs: President John has asked that members report to him
details of make-up attendances at meetings of other clubs so that
these can be taken into account when calculating attendances.
Venues, etc for meetings of other clubs in District 9640 may be
found
here.
Board Meeting: President John reported
on a brief Board meeting held before the dinner meeting. A combined
meeting of the outgoing and incoming Board
members will be held next month on a date to be determined. |

Guest Speaker:
Emma Howard was introduced by Ken Smith. She is
a past exchange student who went to a little town near Bavaria
in Germany. She spoke of the differences that she could remember
about Germany, their taste in Music sense of humour and
driving on the other side of the road, food and their competitive
nature with sport and schoolwork. Her best achievement while away
was becoming proficient in the German language.
Since then she has studied at Griffith and Bond Universities
for ten years to become a psychologist and has now started her own
practice in Southport called Equilibrium Health and they will soon
have four psychologists working there.

District Conference at Grafton: The
conference took place from 16th to 18th April. The club was
represented by PRIT Brian Knowles AM, PDG Ken Smith and PP Margaret

summary found here gives an excellent
outline of the conference program.
Enlarge it to 150% and read for a good understanding of what the
Conference was all about. In addition there were Youth Exchange and
Group Study Exchange presentations, as well as MUNA, RYLA, RYPEN,
RYTS, YSF and Rotaract. A Convict and Settlers Theme banquet was
