11th August.
Hi Members and other Rotarians and Friends.
Last week's meeting was opened by Sergeant Murray and handed over to ex pres secretary and chairman Bob, he was multi tasking.
Bob welcomed all the guests and our incoming and outgoing students to our Rotary Club and there host families.
Last night's meeting was a very involved one, as our kitchen hand was absent and we had to do the catering ourselves, also Pres Ross and Treasure Rick were away skiing as well.
But apart from that we had a great meeting with our exchange student Emilie Finstad
and her host family and our outbound exchange student Peter Lelavi
also attending were the Young family, and Simon and Susan Glover, also attended the night was Freda Donaldson.
Emilie gave us a brief description and film clip of her home town and spoke very good English.
Directors gave there reports and members gave theirs.
Due to me and my
very good helpers, dishing up meals and doing dishes, l as unable to take my usual notes , but would like to thank them all for their help, and l will name them as they were of great assistance on the night, were Freda, Chris, David , Elaine, John, Merv , David, Murray and everyone else that helped on the night l thank.
Lotto was done and the winner finned as usual.
Murray done the fine session with the help of Merv Prostate, he was a bit stiff getting that job, but they both managed to collect money anyway.
meeting was closed at 7.50 (yes early) by ex Pres acting Pres secretary Bob.
