President
Philip's
Message
October is
Vocation month and an ideal time to get to know each of our members’
vocation in more detail. If there is someone in the club you don’t
know well, why not take the time to find out more about their
vocation. ...

Last Week's
Meeting
This week was the first
meeting for the year with the daylight savings time kicking in. This
meant there were no fires being lit along the walkway by Crown at
7pm to light up the room. Maybe we should make and light our
own bonfire at 7pm during the meeting in the coming months!!
Anyway, back to the meeting notes, we had Charles (the tall one)
start the meeting with the normal toasts. ...

Rotary Foundation
Thought
 This week’s
Rotary Foundation Thought
is

what a US$100 can do.
...
Inspire - from "The Prez"
Don't worry if
your job is small and your rewards few. Remember that the mighty oak
was once a nut like you.
