Hi All
February Market Report
Firstly thanks for all the help from you guys!
We proved two main points!
Not that we want this to always be the case!
1. We managed to run the show with Tony being away, thanks to the management team lead by Michael Anderson.
2.The BBQ trailers was delivered and returned thanks to Adrian Davis. The Chefs did a brilliant job as usual. Even though we missed Mervin's smiles and we finally found out how to turn on the fridges on!
Harry has managed to negotiate very reasonable electricity charges at the Church Shed. We should therefore consider using the shed to store the BBQ trailer and keep the batteries float charged and the trailer freezers there to store the unused food,.
When we move our fridge from the Old Shire Office Store to the shed we can use it to store cold stuff too. This saves carting the trailer back and forth to Merv's!
And Straight from Treasurer Mark’s pen, (Keyboard)!
The financial Outcome
Stall holders fee
Including 3 forward payments
Paid 47 sites = $2,350.00 (Jan $2,050.00)
Outstanding 1 site = $50.00 (Jan $85.00). This is an original stallholder so I’m confident that payment will be made.

BBQ
Cash sales $567.20 (Jan $1,048.41)
Credit card sales $223.14 (Jan $219.20)
Expenses $316.32 (Jan $391.55) $50 freezer/electricity costs over 3 months are excluded as this is difficult to amortise as some costs are Bunnings, etc.
Nett $474.02 (Jan $776.11)
Spinner $276.35 (Jan $408.00)

Our Guest Speaker
This week is our very own Bernard Dobson to inform you some of the bitter sides to Chocolate.
And From our District Governor Mark Humphries and Linda
Greetings to all members of the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza and other readers of this Bulletin.
Recently the Rotary Zone 8 newsletter had a story about media coverage of Rotary initiatives.
As a Rotarian it is always disappointing and frustrating when the media features an article about a project or program that Rotary has instigated or run without acknowledging the significant contribution made by our organisation. In most instances it’s not the fault of the Rotarians involved, as they provide the relevant background information and visuals to accompany the story, but the newspapers or television stations choose not to include it—and all we can do is lament another opportunity that has been lost to promote the name “Rotary” to the wider community.
It was very gratifying, therefore, to hear late last year Rotary acknowledged for its involvement in the End Polio Now initiative when the world media recently announced that the African Region is now free of the wild polio virus.
Rotary and its members received significant positive coverage in leading media outlets for our leadership in eradicating wild polio in the African region, with our spokespeople quoted frequently.
Our global media strategy enabled Rotary to be mentioned in coverage throughout the African continent and in top international outlets, as well as coverage in priority countries such as the United States, Germany, Australia, Canada, and India. Of course, Rotary wasn’t in every single media report, but was mentioned in a substantial majority. In many instances, Rotary and WHO were the only Global Polio Eradication Initiative partners mentioned.
It is great when Rotary's fine work receives proper recognition.
And please note the new booking arrangements.
Hope to see you Thursday.
Rick
