President's Comments
 
Overall, an interesting Meeting, albeit overcoming a couple of initial gremlins in the attendance numbers providing a challenge to work thru, as we are now doing.
 
 
Let us keep active and continue to be visible in the Community activities that we all Volunteer for.  Let us encourage more of these important connections going forward and enjoy Opening Opportunities.
Have a pleasant week.   President Greg
 
 
Sergeant's Snippets

This is what makes RCNB work well as a club

Thank you to those members who have kept me informed re changes to the duty rosters.

It was good to have Sam Hardikar and John Koa back in our company.

Thank you to duty roster members who turned up and efficiently carried out their allotted duties.

Thank you to Geoff Haddy and Hugo Goetze who turn up early every week to support duty members.

There was a healthy buzz in the room during fellowship time; a great sound.

 
 
Meeting Procedure / Attendance
There is a need to clarify the process of registering for our regular weekly Club meetings and we need the cooperation of all members so we can provide attendance figures for Kew Golf Club (KGC) well in advance of each meeting.

Gardening - Off and Running!
At a challenging property in Balwyn a new (first time) team from Xavier excelled themselves in making a difference.  The lads were keen and responsive to suggestions from a strong Rotary group of Rob Hortin, Neil Marshall, Geoff Haddy and Ian Glenny.
Please consider your own involvement in the Project, now in its tenth year – It’s fun and satisfying. And just two hours of your time on a Friday or sometimes on a Saturday. Neil Marshall will welcome your name on the roster.
