President’s Message 6 February 2013

Scatter Week  I hope that a majority of you were able to visit other local Rotarian Clubs last week as part of our Scatter Week exercise. Ian Harrison and myself visited the RC of Belvoir meeting in Wodonga and had a very enjoyable time. Amongst other things they had an excellent Speaker from the Education Department of CSU, and Ian asked if he could condense his near forty minute presentation into about twenty five, which he said he could do, so Ian has hopefully forwarded details to Roger to book him in. Other bits and pieces from the meeting will be advised during the Club Assembly part of this weeks meeting.

St. John Ambulance opening  Nice to see four members of our Club were able to make the opening of the new St John Ambulance building in Kiewa Street. Certainly a very nice building for them to now use as an office, instruction area etc.

Rotary Induction  All being well, it is proposed to hold the Induction of Nikki Grae into our Club. As you know Nikki is the Manager of the Albury Branch of Country Hope, and gave a presentation to us shortly after last years changeover.

Club Community donations The time has come for members to nominate any charity or association etc. that you would like the Board to consider making a donation to assist their work within the community. Nominations to be addressed to our Secretary, Justin by 16th February, so some consideration can be made at the next Board meeting.
