PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

At the last meeting John Ray on behalf of the committee for the proposed Sportsman’s Night put forward a budget and general plans for the running of the night. After a presentation and general debate on the night, a special board meeting was held and a motion passed “That the Rotary Club of Laverton Point Cook run the proposed Sportsman’s Night as outlined in the proposal placed in last weeks Bulletin”. Now that we have agreed to run the Sportsman’s Night, please get behind John and his committee and start talking about it to your friend’s now. Below is the initial details of the night to help you talk about it.

Next week we are delighted to once again have another one of Ian Boys’s Quizzes. It is amazing where he gets all his questions from, and watch out for his opening joke. Maybe he is looking to perform at the coming Melbourne Comedy Festival??? Come along and join in the fun, this will be followed by a board meeting so board members be prepared.

Also at the meeting we had Nicholas Masini from LumenChristiCatholicPrimary School and his parents Mark & Dale, attend our meeting to thank our club for the Scholarship he received from us. Nicholas received the award for his efforts in his schools mentoring program.

Well that’s all for this week,

Remember the Rotary International theme for this year of “Building Communities, Bridging Continents”, and our club theme “Be out be seen”, so let’s work together and have fun.
