Thank you to all those who attended David Jarman’s funeral, most of our members attended and there was a very large turnout to show there respect for a wonderful man that David was. It was a wonderful funeral with speeches from the family and one of David’s dearest friends, after the funeral there was a guard of honour that went most of the way down King street.
Thursday nights meeting was a social night to honour David Jarman, our last foundation member and his lovely wife Joy Jarman as our guest, it was for all members to pay there respect and have a few words about David if they chose to, Pres Peter opened the evening by greeting Joy and all the guests and then with a poem he had written for the night (BELLOW) , the gong was set up on the podium for members to gong when they felt the need to talk to the members and guests, Pres Peter had Davids last recording, it was when he spoke the early days of Dromana Rotary, it was great to see a lot of members took the opportunity to go up and say a few words about the times they had with David, it was even more delightful to see Joy go up and say a few words, it would have been very hard for Joy and we all appreciated the time she took to be with us all.
Even though there was a lot of members away due to health and personal reasons, it was a good social night, it was a finger food event so everyone could mingle and talk to each other, and comfort Joy.
There will be a board meeting AFTER next weeks meeting so we have time to go over the directors requests and commitments and get everything up to date. It will start at 5.10pm and go till 6.20, then conclude after the meeting to finalize whatever is left, this was a number of members decision so we don’t go late into the night.
PLEASE REMEMBER------Thursday the 18th April is another social night at the Pig and Whistle in Main Ridge, is a partners night, because we need to vacate the hall for the potters on this night. PLEASE make your own reservations with the Pig and Whistle and state you are with the Dromana Rotary Group, that way we will be all seated near each other. Thank you.
