In many clubs, one hardly dares to advertise “Club Assembly” or similar. Not so in Surfers Sunrise Rotary! Even though approximately one third of our members are still on holiday, it was a lively meeting indeed! And our very special visitor from South Korea, Dong Myong Lee, together with his partner Choi Seon Hee [correct spelling not assured... Ed.] put some additional spice into the proceedings.
Major points: Our corporate member Kane Chisholm announced that his company, Kieser Bundall, will hold a Social Night on Friday 23rd January – grab the posters from the Download Files on the right and check the separate story below. Wheelchair Trust Chairman Geoff Croad outlined various details relating to our operations at the project shed, including new procedures implemented to record cash sales, and a new process for the purchase of miscellaneous items, such as consumables and tools from local suppliers. Franz Huber presented briefly on the age demographics of our club. Whilst the subject might be touchy if not controversial (about one third of our membership is >=80 years young), it certainly sparked a lively discussion! Franz suggested that all members should spend some serious time to look at the Rotary Action Plan. In relation to this, Past President (and current Youth Service Director) Mitch Brown reminded members that, in his year (2022-23), he developed a Strategic Plan, which is as relevant today as it was then.
