Thank you to Jane for filling in as Sergeant last Thursday.
Keep an eye out for a revised roster when we return to face to face meetings. Members listed for club duty on weeks Zoom meetings have been held will be re-rostered to fill any gaps that emerge, or moved to the 2021-2022 roster for the new Sergeant.
Jane here - it was good to see that people had not forgotten how to use Zoom!!
Our Meeting on 3 June
Our Guest Speaker was Jessie Harman, a member of the Wendouree Breakfast Rotary Club, and selected as Rotary International Director Zone 8, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
Jessie fascinated us with a speech about her life story in five chapters. This included the experiences she has had with Rotary, the people she has met, the travel opportunities, the challenges and the future.
She responded to many questions with an acknowledgement that one of the major challenges for Rotary going forward is membership. She elaborated with details about Rotary's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy and how vital it is for this to be implemented at all levels of the organisation.
A wonderful evening and we were very thankful for technology as Jessie could Zoom in from Ballarat and members Zooming in from as far away as Perth, Queensland, Canberra, Sorrento, Yea and Melbourne.
