This week’s meeting saw a change in proceedings.  We had a fellowship evening.  Recognising that fun, fellowship, knowing one another, and friendship are very important parts of our Rotary experience and life. Shock, horror, there was no top table – everyone was mixed in together.  Business items were minimised which maximised time for all of us to chat and interact at the tables.

Members and guests wondered what the coloured stickers were for at each seat.  After main course, every second person had to stand and move to the next table.  With drinks in hand, the noise level increased dramatically as people suddenly found themselves next to someone different.  All of us tend to sit with the same people.  What a fantastic way to get us out of our comfort zone and chat with someone we may not normally be with.

With international visitors and potential members, it turned into a great meeting.  Chairman Terry Carmichael and Sargeant Darius gave us a history lesson and kept things moving.

 

There will be a board meeting on Monday 21st at Treasurer Wendy’s home.  Members are invited to attend if the wish.

 

Bill Minns is currently at the St John of God Frankston Rehab.  His medication has been changed and he is back on track.

 

The Mental Health Forum run by the RC Narre Warren has enough workers, so do not need our help.

 

Keep an eye out for raffle tickets for the Golf Day.

 

The Jokers Wild jackpot was left undisturbed by Treasurer Wendy.

 

Darius in his usual style gave us a history lesson with the fine session.  This time it was about Finland and WW2.
