President's Message

 

Dear Club Members and Friends,
 
As with previous returned Rylarians, it was enjoyable and encouraging to hear (and see) Ricky’s account of his experience of RYLA. Every time I hear such an account I am pleased that we sponsor young people for RYLA. I also found Ricky’s self-revealing style of presentation attractive, and I hope that we are able to keep in touch with him.

It was good to see our early start and finish work much better the second time around. I hope this bodes well for the future.

There’s no breakfast meeting next Friday, but the Board is meeting at 7.15 at Dunmore Lang. Remember that Rotarians who are not on the Board are welcome to attend. Just let me know. And we are getting together at Basil’s at 6.30 pm. Come if you can – it’s sure to be a good night.
 
Kind regards
Brian Powell
President 2017-18

DG 2020-21 Calling For Nominations
Each year Rotary Clubs have the privilege and honour of suggesting candidates for District Governor from their membership.  District 9685 has a great history of Rotarians, supported by their Clubs, who have stepped up to the role.
 
District 9685 is now calling for applications for nomination as Rotary International District Governor for the 2020-2021 year.  An applicant must be a current member of good standing of a Club in District 9685 with at least 5 years of Rotary membership as at June 2018, as well as having served as president of a Rotary Club for a full term.
 
District Governor is a challenging and rewarding appointment with a structured and exciting two-year training and preparation period prior to assuming the position.  It is your opportunity to lead and inspire Rotarians in Clubs across the District.
 
As an initial expression of Interest, please contact me, PDG Gina Growden, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, via email at gina.growden@bigpond.com or mobile 0412 128 106.  I will assist you by providing information about the role and the selection procedure.
 
You can help, even if you are not intending to apply.  All Rotarians know someone who would be an excellent Governor but possibly have not been recognised previously in that regard.  Please encourage them to apply, or to contact me to register their interest in applying sometime in the future.
 
Key dates are:
2nd March 2018: Formal Application Details and Package available
29th March 2018: Closing Date for Applications
15th April 2018: District Governor 2020-2021 Selection Interviews (candidates must attend the District Office in Thornleigh in person).
 
I look forward to discussing your interest in the role of Governor for District 9685.
 
Regards,
 
Gina
