Message from our President - Ron's Ramblings
I am sure all who attended last weeks evening dinner at Cilantro found our speaker to be very entertaining and interesting as he related many stories about his involvement with people so familiar to many of us. Thanks to Tim Lynch for introducing David to us.
This week we have Leon Laundau from Community First Responders as our speaker who will tell us the important early steps we need to take when any of our friends or family may suddenly be impacted by a severe cardiac event.
All Board members please note that our next Board meeting is on Monday September 11th in the meeting room above Cilantro at 7.30 pm. We are fortunate in having two Assistant Governors in our club, and if you would like the opportunity to see how other clubs operate, may I suggest you talk with Helen or Linda and offer to accompany them on one of their club visits. They can be good fun.
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
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.
Ian Ballantine
A reminder to members to keep checking the calendar of upcoming events for evening and perhaps, one day, daytime events.
