Tamar Views Bulletin of the Rotary Club of South Launceston No. 1 July 2 2015 Visit our website http:/www.rotary-sthlaunceston.org.au/ PRESIDENTAL NOTES Dear Rotarians The New Rotary year has come around much faster than I had anticipated. On Saturday night we had our Club Changeover. This was well attended by Club members, partners and friends including David and Brenda Sheldrick and David Dixon (who has now been made an Honorary Member) and his wife Rosemary. As usual, this was a great evening of fellowship as the Club leadership baton was passed to me from Craig. On Sunday, several of our members attended the District Changeover, which was a very well attended function held at the Riverside Golf Club. Following Past President Craig is going to be a tough job. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Craig for passing on the Club in such excellent shape; and to him and the outgoing 2014/15 Board for a successful Rotary year, including significant membership growth. The incoming Board thankfully retains much of the experience and commitment of the 2014/15 Board, but also has several new additions to inject new ideas and additional enthusiasm. I will attempt to provide the same high quality leadership and direction passed on to me by PP Craig and the outgoing Board; that said, I can’t guarantee the same consistent level of entertainment. This week we have guest speakers who will be talking with us about some fundraising activities, and so we have put off our Club forum till the following week. This will be an important Club forum as we will be discussing the Club program and activities for 2015/16 and I encourage you all to attend and participate. I would like to thank you all for your support and assistance to date. At the end of the day, the 2015/16 Rotary year will only be as successful as the South Launceston Rotary Club members make it. I am sure that I can count on your continued support and I look forward to working with you in 2015/16. Regards President Les APOLOGIES TO TERRY CRAWFORD 6344 7033 OR 0417 366 531 by 10.30am THURSDAY please or you will incur a meal invoice. ITEMS FOR NEXT WEEK’S BULLETIN Please pass bulletin items to DENNIS TULK 0419 385 344 [email protected] before 1.00pm WEDNESDAY please. A message from our Program Chairman -Kevin Preece "Our guest speakers on Thursday evening, Irena and Marilyn will be presenting on fund raising opportunities for the club.These opportunities revolve around women's fashion and should be of significant interest to the female members of our club. Although the Board will have to make any decisions around these opportunities it will be of great value to have full input from our female members and questions from them on the night as it might provide an ideal way for them to have a lead role in a new project". A few photos from the Change-over Dinner held last Saturday evening. Phew, says Past President Craig “I got through that year unscathed”. Debbie and Stephen Freeman at their last official dinner before they leave us to venture to the mainland soon. We will miss you both. Is that divine light on those two? It should be a good year President Les. Past President Craig presenting David Dixon with his Honourary Rotarian Badge.
