Last Week's
Meeting
President
Barbara - President's Wrap Up for
2007-2008
A conspicuous absence for the
night was Wendy, who vowed to miss the meeting as it was her
birthday that week, and she did not want a repeat of the multiple
singing of “happy birthday” that occurred at the Worlds Biggest
Garage Sale. Not to be thwarted, Bobbi made a call to Wendy on
her mobile, and present Rotarians and guests proceeded to sing happy
birthday the high tech way. A happy birthday to all those

Young Achievement Australia (YAA) 2008
The Rotary Club of Southbank is, once again, supporting the
mentoring of a group of students in the YAA program.
We are partnering with the RC Melbourne to fund and provide mentors
for this very worthwhile youth development program. This is an
important project for our Club and we want to make sure that we are
well represented with mentors.
The timeframe for the program has yet to be set, however it is
anticipated that it will commence after Easter.
This year our YAA company will have a convenient meeting location,
in the heart of the city, at:
The CASS Foundation
Level 2, 111 Collins Street
If you are interested in participating as a mentor,

believe that 12 months have come and gone and we are about to
embark on a new Rotary year. On the other hand however, when I
look at my diary, I wonder how we have fitted so much into only
12 months !!
In our Strategic Plan 2007-2008 I
did set some specific goals which I wanted to measure at the end
of this Rotary year. ...
