This week ShelterBox, Changeover 15th June

It was a great meeting last week with a good turn out. Not only that, we had an excellent speaker in Cathy Kennaugh from EvoLife. Thank you also to our guest from Minimbah – it was a pleasure to handover $1000 to an organisation we plan to continue to support in whatever way we can. Also thanks to David Connell from North Ryde Rotary for bringing Judy (potential member) as well. Finally, thank you to all those who attended the District Assembly and John and Dee for their reports of the day. The only bit of bad news there was that we were singled out for the dubious honour of the Club with the lowest weekly attendance. Let’s try and fix that. Don’t forget – if you attend a Rotary function that is not our weekly meeting, be sure to let Frederick know so he can reflect that in our attendance figures.

This week we will learn more about one of Rotary’s biggest ongoing projects – ShelterBox. There is an article about Tom Henderson’s ShelterBox and how it all started in this months RDU but if you don’t have time to read it, come along and watch an excellent DVD and have Ka Kin (our International Director) tell us a little more about it and how our club plans to get involved.

Don’t forget to keep 15th June aside for the Mac Park Changeover night – more info to come.

Finally, incoming Prez, Shayne Dumbrell reports he has received all plans and budgets for inclusion into his Club Plan for next year - so stay tuned for how the well oiled machine that is the Rotary Club of Macquarie Park will continue into the 07/08 Rotary Year.
