All Members Please Note – Cancellation? It is up to you!
I just decided not to alter my President’ Message of optimism but I need to alert you all to a reality I am very unhappy about. I have just spoken to Terry Kitchen who is trying to enjoy a short holiday up north! Members. Here is Terry’s Report to our Board Meeting on Tuesday night:
“TICKET SALES are very slow and disappointing. At the time of writing we have 20 bookings, only 7 are RCH members. This number will increase to 36 when I have registered our guest speaker, MC and auctioneer, plus 3 from Bendigo Bank and the table of 10 from AVEO.
With less than a month until the lunch, and only 3 weeks until the RSVP date, we desperately need our members to support this event. They need to book their own tickets and encourage friends and other Rotary contacts to come. I have sent invitations to all Business Breakfast attendees and asked Cheryl Pisterman to post the flyer on the District website.
I asked Kooyong if the smaller Stadium Room would be available, but it is fully booked. We need to get numbers up to 100 / 120 to at least fill the lower level of the Kooyong Room and to satisfy our sponsors. By comparison, in 2024 we had 200 guests.“
