President Philip's Weekly Message
Last Tuesday
was a great evening of fellowship at the Middle Park Bowling Club
and even though the bowling was cancelled because of poor weather,
we still enjoyed a wonderful barbeque as well as each other’s
company. Thanks to Bobbi Lehman Horn for organising the evening
and Charles Stuart for being the chef behind the barbeque.
This coming
Tuesday is our second Friends of Rotary meeting, so please
remember to bring any additional guests you feel could be a good
Club Friend.
The Community
Service Excellence Awards Committee is looking for additional
volunteers and will be talking to our Membership this week to
enlist help in some capacity. I will also be calling on our
Membership to assist with the KIDS Foundation annual ball
scheduled for May.
Have a great
week in Rotary.
President Philip
Last Week's Meeting
Meeting 520 Scribe Notes
Meeting 520
was a fellowship meeting at the Middle Park Bowling Club. Due
to rain, we did not have lawn bowling. However, we did have a
wonderful BBQ with our own Charles Stuart as chef, a fine salad from
Bobbi and, of course, lots of laughs and great fellowship.
Rotary Foundation
Thought
This week’s Rotary Foundation Thought
is an inspiring quote from Paul Harris that can be assimilated to
the challenge to eradicate Polio worldwide:
"I like to think that the pioneering days of Rotary
have just begun. What’s 40 years in the life of a great Movement?
There are just as many new things to be done as ever there were.
Rotary must simply continue to pioneer or be left in the rear of
progress." Over 60 years later, Paul Harris’ words are just as
meaningful. There are still so many new things to achieve and
promises to keep. If every district allocates 10% of its available
District Designated Funds (DDF) this year to the PolioPlus Partners
Program, we can reach the $5 million goal needed to fund National
Immunization Days in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria and
fulfill our commitment. Remember what Paul Harris said -we must all
strive to be PIONEERS on the long road to PEACE.
