Weekly Message From President Ngaire

We certainly had a meeting with a difference this week. 30 keen beer tasters, and a few nominated drivers, visited the Carlton United Brewhouse on Tuesday to hear all there is to know about beer brewing. It was a fun and informative outing in the name of Vocational Service and just the best fellowship get-together. The beer, and cider, went down a treat and the pub meals were pretty good as well.
It was wonderful to have partners Sheila, Janet, Lorraine, Marie, Cheryl, Ralph and Ken join us and terrific that DG Dennis considered this outing a priority in his busy schedule. Also we were so pleased to welcome Neil Roberts to the group. Thank you Ian Stoney for the great idea and Geoff Wright for your superb organisation. Bring on the next Vocational ‘meeting’!
Ticket sales for the film Arbitrage close Friday this week so please add your name to the list if you would like to join our dinner and movie evening on Thursday October 25. And talking of lists the Garden Design roster is a list we really need your names on. Please volunteer before Elizabeth Foxworth has to ask you.
I note that President Jill Forsyth from RC of Kew has 10 people coming with her to our Camcare Concert of the Stars on Sunday 28 October. I do hope RCH will be very well represented in the audience. Remember this is our annual fundraiser for Camcare for 2012 so do support Noel Halford and Tony Charlton with your attendance at this Gala Concert.
Can you help? Chris Hanson tells me we have 19 volunteers from RCH for the City2Sea event on November 11. If we get the 20th then the organisers will allocate 10 RCH to the role of Marshall which pays $50 instead of $30. That’s an extra $200 in our kitty. Please phone Chris if you are available on that Sunday morning.
We have a very full program next Tuesday. The visiting Tasmanian exchange students are in town and will be attending our meeting with Craig MacPherson from Hawthorn Secondary College. Dick Menting from Bendigo Bank is speaking on Community Banking and will be followed with a presentation on Rotary Foundation from Gordon Cheyne.
I’ll look forward to welcoming you all to lunch on Tuesday. Meanwhile, enjoy a happy week…
Yours in Rotary,
Ngaire
Thoughts for the week; (thanks to Brian Reid)
