Last Week's Meeting

Les opened the meeting. President Mike welcomed visitor Ian. He also made special welcome to Ken Hinkly, Win Fowles and Mark McArdle.

President advised us that tonights meeting will finish at 7.15 pm so that the Board can conduct its meeting following the general meeting.

INTERNATIONAL TOAST: Proposed by David Smith to the Rotary Club Prishtina, Kosova. It was charted in 2006 and has 36 members. It has a Rotaract and an Interact Club. It meets on Thursday evenings as we do. It supports Polio Plus.

DIRECTORS:

Bruce Radford advised that he has replacement Emergency Booklets to replace the faulty ones distributed previously.
Will Waterford reminded us that Patrick King has his relocation event on the 7th September. Will also reissued his challenge to us to ask someone along to join Rotary.
Ross Harrison (Club Services) advised us that one of the roles of the fellowship officer will be to ask visiting Rotarians if they want to say something about themselves or their club. There will be a social fellowship meeting at Dominico's Restaurant on 29th September (this is the 5th Thursday of the month). It will be a pizza and pasta night.

Les gave a very uplifting story about the word up.
