President Philip's Message

It was great to have Andrew Chappell as our guest speaker last Tuesday.  He was very informative and there is no doubt Andrew and his team will be great partners in helping us to establish the Rotary Club of Southbank’s Giving Trust.  I am sure our Scribe’s notes will be very detailed about Andrew’s talk, but this is the link to the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Fund website where you can find all the information you need to understand this more:  http://www.lordmayorsfund.org.au/ ...

Last Week's Meeting

Charles Dimmick was acting sergeant and did a fabulous job of it.  He was quick to remind us that he is incoming Treasurer.  Just this taste of his skills enough to put us all on notice that Charles is going to bring the skills of his employer to bear next year and we'd better be prepared to open our wallets/purses/bank accounts/investment portfolios (only for the super rich among us, of course) next year to do good in the world! ...
