Rotary meeting March 17 2016. By PP Terry Allan
 
President Thea welcomed a small number of Rotarians, including Kate, who has been selling half of Maryborough and Janette McQueen, visiting us again.
Shane came in on his way to the Hospital Ball to tell us that with no candidates for RYPEN, the Adekate camp has been canceled, so we lose our $500 deposit!
Catering for Vic Veterans Cycling Championships on Easter Day has been passed to the Girl Guides. Marquee still to be erected on Saturday.                                                                   PP Garry has met with UCOS, (not the New Tricks UCOS, but the Victorian Council of Social Services, VCOSS). We have been commended on how our Family Violence Awareness program has  made an impact on some service providers.
Friday Footy Frenzy: Malley has hit the field running and already many squares are sold. Never-the-less, there are still lots of opportunities for investment. (Note: There are some quite peculiar rules to be invoked if South Essendon Thirds are pressed into service as the 18th team).
Sergeant Leigh denied being the cause of the Fed Square riots recently, however his arguments were rather unconvincing!
President Thea presided over a quite complex game involving the contents of our pockets, wallets and handbags. Without Kate’s handbag one table would have been in dire straits! The result was even and lots of laughter rang out.
 
Thank you Terry for doing the notes for me, as I will be away for 4 weeks I am going to be tapping someone on the shoulder to do the notes, hopefully I have arranged someone to do the actual bulletin so you only have to email the notes to them. I have one volunteer to do this thus far and its not an arduous task. so I plead with you, please email me it only takes little effort at the meeting to do this.Thank you in advance ....... ED
