The Year 2017 - 2018

President: 2017 - 2018 John Richard Presidents Report August 8th 2017

Greetings Rotarians, Phil Maxwell from the Rotary Club of Nunawading conveyed his appreciation to members of our club who attended the Christmas in July event.

Joseph and I attended the Rotary District 9810 Presi-dents Meeting on 04 Aug at Mulgrave Country Club.

I learn a few more things about Rotary that night.

Graeme from the Ferntree Gully Rotary Club will be

attending our meeting today and we would like to ex-tend a warm welcome to him.

Wish you all a pleasant week ahead.

Next Sunday is the 13th August, and we need all the volunteers we can get to rattle the tins and to help set up. Thank you to those who have put their hands up.

Regards John

Description of Rotary

Rotary is an organisation of Business and Professional persons, united world wide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in all the world.

One of our favourite exchange students from back in the early 2000s is visiting Melbourne this week with her husband Louis, and her two

small children, Celeste and Ophelia

It has been a great experience for members of our club to keep track of past Rotary Exchange Students. We had a great time with Sabine from Villefranche (south of Lyon), and before her

Gwen from Belgium.
