President Dave's message for the week

It was terrific to have a pretty good turnout to our meeting this week to hear our own Tim Moore update us about the Regionalisation Pilot that we will work through in the coming year or so.

Done well, it provides us with a better support structure and a bottom-up approach. I encourage you to take an active interest via the website www.creatingtomorrow.org

 

On that note, Jane & Tim head north to their new digs on the Gold Coast and we had their company on Wednesday night for the last time on a regular basis, but we will see them again in October when they are down with us. Both Jane & Tim will continue to contribute behind the scenes to our club. Personally, I want to thank them both for their strong guidance and friendship and like me, I’m sure everyone wishes them safe travels.

 

Yesterday, I received a note from Ben Plunkett, President of friends from Casey Rotary inviting our members and friends to an evening at Beaconhills Golf Club to hear from Harry Sanders about going from rags to Riches. At age 17, Harry Sanders was left homeless after his parents separated but now, just 8 years later, he’s a multimillionaire who is determined to give back and help others get back on their feet. See his recent story on The Project below: 

The night is at the Beaconhills Golf Club (85-87 Stoney Creek Road, Upper Beaconsfield). 25th September 2023, 6:30PM for 7PM start, $40pp inc. 2-course meal, drinks at bar prices. 

 Final date for reservations: 18th September 2023. Please include dietary requests when booking or send to: Secretary, Lucy Rowlands - sales@sojourn.com.au or 0488 089 403. 

Tables set for 10 per table.

 On the 27^th of September, we are fortunate to have Trevor Watson put us through our paces with a Footy Trivia night. It should be a hoot so now is a good time to brush up on your footy (& Richmond FC) knowledge AND invite any family/friends along to make it a cracker of an evening.

Finally, I am thrilled to let everyone know from our next regular meeting onwards, we have a new Sergeant (team) guiding us through our meetings. Jen Marshall and Glenn (Shoey) Schumacher will take on the role conjointly and I thank them both, knowing that they will do a ripping job.

Thanks Jen & Shoey for stepping up and also to Funno who has done a splendid job as sergeant. He is the only one I’ve seen since joining the club and the bar is well set.
