Bulletin 4/09: 21 July 2009

Meeting Ocean Grove Hotel: Duties 28 July 2009
Chairman: Geoff Brentnall.
Assistant Cashier & Thanker: Coral Barker.
Greeter & Assistant Sergeant: Rod Bush.

‘From The Oval Office’:

President Rod reminds members of the Inter-Club Visits to the Drysdale Rotary Club’s Monday meetings on 27 July and 3 August.

Margaret Campbell and John Calnin will attend the Bangarang Drought Relief BBQ on Sunday 16 August. They would like other Ocean Grove Rotarians to go, also.

Geoff Brentnall’s interesting and informative Foundation input at the last Meeting set the standard for ensuing ‘two minuters’!


Jim Ricchini speaks to the club in a 10 minute talk about his life.

Committee Chairs - and members generally – are urged to support the Bulletin Editor’s call for relevant input that ‘informs, entertains and motivates us – and reflects our services to the community through Rotary’.

Whilst on the subject of the Bulletin!

Rotary like golf ought to be enjoyable – provided we know what is to be done and why. Most Bulletins notify rosters and report doings. Good Bulletins sign-post ‘whys and know-hows’ as the products of shared experience. Good Bulletins are morale setting instruments. Hence our content should be generated by the membership – and similarly evaluated. From the service project committees; from public relations, club administration, community development, vocational and international service etc, etc. The editor would love to be inundated with input - in words and pictures. Thanks President Rod for your plug! Views and comments from everyone else are always wanted and needed

We are looking for all the news and views fit to print (and anything else as well).

Proposed 2010 Art Show: (Forget the vested interest; I am simply giving an input example). Dick Clay reminds me there should be a meeting very soon of the Feasibility Study group (Ian Downing (convenor), Coral Barker, Dick Clay and Richard Grimmett - a cordial invitation is also extended to Richard Trigg). Dick has kindly offered his home as a venue for the meeting. Notices will go out in the next day or so.

Forthcoming Speakers (Richard Trigg):

28July: Colin Frisch Executive Officer Gordon TAFE (re their 125th Birthday).
4 August: Rotarian Noel Emselle (re Membership Workshop).
18 August: Hamish Carr (Expresso Coffee Solutions)

Duties 4 August:
Chairman: Geoff Chandler. Assistant Cashier and Thanker Dick Clay.
Greeter and Assistant Sergeant Margaret Campbell.
