Message from our President
I hope you all had a Happy Easter, celebrating this special time of year as you wished to.
Last Wednesday we inducted a new member. Welcome Kellie!
Kellie has hit the ground running, asking if she could join the membership team. I think by Larry and Tim’s reaction they are delighted to have Kellie join them, bringing with her, enthusiasm, and fresh ideas for growing membership.
Each of us a responsibility to ensure our clubs continued growth by actively telling people you meet what we do, our projects, about Rotary.
The Club NEEDS younger, active members.
Over the past three weeks I have listed the International, Community, Vocational and Youth projects, so that you might share the amazing work we have achieved, with others.
All you need to do is just ASK a potential Rotarian to come and join us for breakfast, we are a strong and vibrant club, a vibe which is welcoming.
We have another great speaker coming next week PDG Daryl Moran, please bring your partners, this also an opportunity to ASK a potential member.
We have been advised by District of the dates for RYLA, a fantastic and popular Rotary Youth Programme. RYLA 2023 will be held this year from the 26th June to 1st July in Flinders on the Peninsula, a six day live in camp.
RYLA is a programme for potential leaders, young people between the ages of 18 and 30 it focuses on personal and leadership development. The Youth and Vocational Committee are actively seeking candidates for our club to sponsor, should you know of a young person who may be suitable please contact one of the Committee.
I look forward to seeing you all at Calvary Care for breakfast and a tour of their facility.
Yours in Rotary,
Yours in Rotary,
Glenda
