Week 32: February 4, 2016
 
Greetings Rotarians,
Such excitement last week with PP Garry Higgins being presented with the Central Goldfields Shire  "Citizen of the Year" and Harold’s daughter, Peppa Breitinger’s "Polka dots for Peppa" awarded the Event of the Year. Both awards are richly deserved.
Nice to see Rotarian Ray back safely from international travels
Group 7 meeting at Beaufort on Monday, February 1. So far four Rotarians attending.
The Central Goldfields Council are working on having a large sign erected and placing various sized stickers on all their vehicles. Have you noticed the sign at MDHS?
Would all Rotarians please place a bumper sticker on their cars/utes? $2.00 each and you could buy some for your families’ cars too. They apparently stand out quite well.
This week, February 4: Guest Speaker Susanna Dowie will tell us about her business enterprise in London. Susanna is married to Ross Dowie from Carisbrook’s Dowie family.  PP Brian Dowie was very involved in farming and environmental concerns.
Next week , February 11: The Disaster Aid Australia Road Show will do a presentation for us and Rotarians Judy Dennis and Lindsay Florence  will give us more info on the Ballarat Swap Meet for which some Rotarians have put up their hand.
