PRESIDENT'S COLUMN

 
Dear Friends at Crows Nest
 
Greetings from the Southern Highlands
Last Monday was what we call a “working lunch “where the eighth of us got down and dirty about our Rotary ideas for the future.  We also touched on items like the Changeover Dinner on July 8, the Crow's Nest Fair in October on 20th and our special guest speakers for the evening meeting on July 19 and Michael McQueen for Change Over Dinner.
 
Louise raised the issue of stale bread from Coles which she reported to them.  We have an investiture of our BBQ Buddy Gloria at the Changeover dinner.   Also pending is a nomination for the Cyril Clarke award and Paul Harris medals.  Will keep you posted.
 
See you all on the 17th at the hotel.
Your Rotary Pres.
Tom
