Message from our President - Ron's Ramblings

 
What interesting and informative speakers(s) we had this morning. Stroke is something we should all be aware of and the steps to take.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE.
As advised this morning our next meeting on August 9th is an evening meeting and we have been advised by Holmesglen that we need to advise them of definite numbers attending by Tuesday morning, so can I ask that you please book yourself and any guests with myself or Samantha  by  Monday night so that they can cater accordingly. Apologies will also be received.
We have an excellent speaker in David Trotter who has operated a gym in Ormond  for over 20 years and is now a trained exercise physiologist who specialises in post-op and trauma injury rehabilitation.
We would love to see as many as possible, you but do not forget to book.
We also have another interesting and entertaining   speaker on August 30th, David Baird, who has been a chauffeur, confidante, and protector of the rich and famous  He has some interesting stories, save the date.
Yours in Rotary  ‘Create Hope in The World.’
President Ron

Note from the Editor re Images and Events
A point regarding the submission of images for the Bulletin and Website: Members are reminded that images have to meet a minimum size requirement, as has been specified for some time in the section at the bottom of this Bulletin. 820 pixels is the minimum size required with larger being better as this allows for cropping. The submission of images via MMS is NOT preferred as they are too small and of inferior quality. Email or Whatsapp is preferred.
Would any member like to take responsibility for the updating of the Club's Event Calendar? I have created a page of instructions here so it is very easy to take over.
Thank you, Ian Ballantine
