President's Message

Dear Club Members and Friends,
 
How the time flies. Only five weeks to the Carols!
 
Last week we had the opportunity to discuss the proposed changes to our by-laws.  We will vote on these at the AGM on 2 December.  Pam has done a great job in putting the proposed changes together.  Many thanks.  Please read them through ( see here) and if you have suggestions send them through to Pam or me so we can have a final version for approval.
 
We didn't have time for further work on our visioning so will look at that after the AGM.
 
We will also be voting for our 2017/18 board at the AGM. A few members have said they would be happy to be on the board but we don't yet have a volunteer for president.  Please consider if you could serve in this way. I am happy to discuss what the role entails. It is not as daunting as you may think.  We will also have six months in which to work together so it is a gradual settling into.
 
Allen Horrell,  our ADG, visited us last Friday with information about the conference.  Last week I gave you a web address which didn't work -?try this one!
 
See you Friday for some information about the Rotary Foundation.  And of course our Fun Run thank you breakfast on 25 November.
 
Our next board meeting is Thursday 24 November 7:15 am at Liane's place - big thank you.
 
Have a good week.
 
Best regards
Victoria Crawford
Club President 2016-17
