President Geoff began by welcoming our guest speaker Dana Ezzat, Caitlyn Langdon and little Georgie Marshall, who was very well behaved. Geoff advised that PP Jack Kraan's term on the Nossal High School Council ends on 26 February. Jack has suggested that, after having served 6 years on the Council, someone else should be given the opportunity to represent the Club. Geoff asked if anyone was interested in the role and Sam McCurdy volunteered.
P Geoff attended the Multi-District Conference in Melbourne over last weekend and he asked other attendees to give their impressions of the program.
PE Isobel Caulfield said that the highlight for her was the discovery of a simple project called "Birthday Bag", in which disadvantaged individuals were given a bag for their birthday containing the ingredients and equipment necessary to bake a birthday cake.
Other impressions were that the conference was well organised with terrific speakers and entertainment, although it was mentioned that it lacked some pizzazz at the beginning and end.
Marina Pryor was identified as the outstanding act and Lord Mayor Sally Capp as one of the most interesting speakers. The RIPR was Dr Stephanie Urchick and her passion for Rotary and being a Rotarian was amazing.
The Conference Bike Ride has raised $1 million over the 19 years it has been running.
It was confirmed that the 2020 District Conference will be held in Bendigo.
