Club President – Mike Hartnell
Welcome to February. Another busy and enjoyable month with lots of things on.
Nominations for committee positions are due in by our February General Meeting. You’ll see a nomination form in this issue and if you are interested in putting in to help your club please get your nomination signed and in by then.
Our club did a survey a bit over a year ago and we got lots of good feedback from many of our members. The survey asked for ideas on what our members would like the club to do in the year ahead, and what their interests are.
Things like the birthday draw, the morning teas and picnics, the mahjong group, the cards and games group came from the survey. The book club was also an idea liked in the survey. Cherry had already started thinking about a book club and was able to get it started with the people who put their names down in the survey. When we read the book reviews in the newsletter we realise how much people are enjoying it. Thanks Cherry.
What other ideas do you have? Which other things would you like to do and think other club members would enjoy? Have a talk to friends within the club and if it looks as if your idea is popular let the committee know so we can look at it. During January Rosemary Daly organised a hugely successful cinema outing for us. 30 members turned up, saw a great movie and enjoyed friendship and fellowship together afterwards (good Probus values). Thanks very much Rosemary.
Unfortunately we had some sad news during the month with the passing of our esteemed member Neville Marsh. Neville was a distinguished contributor to both Rotary and Probus. Our love and thoughts are with Sue and her family.
Look forward to seeing you soon. Have a terrific month.
Mike
Thought for the Month:
The “truth” depends on who is telling the story and what they want you to believe. What you choose to believe is entirely up to you.
