Message from our President - Tim's Tattles
Last week we had Trish Carr speak to us about community grants. Her club actively initiates applications from community groups for grants.
The benefit to this is that it can enable groups to obtain seed capital to move matters along. A terrific idea. Something that we should consider.
Next Wednesday we are again meeting at Cilantro in the morning and we will have a delegate from ROMAC to speak to us. Rotary Overseas Aid for Children. This is another very worthwhile project with which we are involved .
We had our second board meeting last Monday and we discussed among other things promoting the market in the local council magazines. Grant Perry will look into that.
If anyone has ideas on promoting talk to me or Grant.
Yours in Rotary ‘The Magic of Rotary’
President Tim Lynch

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 far superior.
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
I remind members that you are responsible for the information contained in the Club's database. This includes, birthdays, phone numbers, addresses etc etc. Even your own photo. You maintain this via this link.

A reminder to members to keep checking the calendar of upcoming events for evening and perhaps, one day, daytime events.
