PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Presidents Message:

I would like to wish all members and their families all the best for 2022 and may this year bring you happiness.

Bingo continued on Monday night (20/12/2021) with 99 players in attendance raising a profit of $1,765. Thanks to Brian Ahmed we handed out eggs to all in attendance as a Xmas gift from the Werribee Rotary Club. On the 3rd of January we made a small profit of $23, this was due to a lot of people still being away. Thankyou to Jim Randall and Michael Redding for helping on the night.

Our first meeting in 2022 will be on the 18th January, this will be held at the Italian Social Club (Sala Room)

Our Guest Speaker will be Mandy Watson, Dept of Environment Land, Water & Planning. Topic: Southern Right Whale Movements.

Our Club will be sponsoring Taylor Morris to attend the RYLA Camp in February. Taylor is a very impressive young lady and I have invited her to attend our meeting next Tuesday to meet our members.

I will close with a thought for the week A New Years Resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.

Graham

THIS WEEK AT ROTARY - 11.01.2022
 
We unfortunatley had to cancel our social function at Tino & Robyn Ballan's, due to a confirmed Covid case in the family. We thought Covid would 'give us a rest' in 2022, but it looks like more of the same.
