President Michael & Agnes are overseas currently having a great time in the European sunshine whilst we humble members cope with the vagaries of a Victorian spring. They will be dong this for another 5 weeks; It hardly seems fair.
In Mikes absence Senior Vice-President Rob will take over & if he is absent PP Ross will take up the mantle.
Our last meeting was well attended & members listened with interest whilst Rosebud-Rye Rotarian Sandra Fiedldy gave a very interesting presentation on the Kosish garden project in Nepal. This project helps local residents reduce their food costs & has therapeutic benefits for
them too.
Don't forget that next weeks meeting (11 October) will be a social event only at the Peninsula Club starting at 6.30pm. Members are to advise Mark if they are not attending & if they are bringing a partner by 10am on Wednesday 11 Ocotber.
