He welcomed the guests: Dr Stephen Evans - our speaker for the evening as well as Johann and Karen du Toit, Alfred and Elsche Dippenaar, Pieter and Corrie Meiring, Leon en Almarie Duyn, Karl and Rienie Pedersen, Alex and Brenda Daneel, Mike and Ingrid Murray, Livia and Jennifer Coleman, Gerhard and Jeanette Ackerman and Joan de Jongh President Nico called on PP Margie to come to the podium. She had the honour of handing over a Paul Harris recognition and explained that in the RC of Klerksdorp it is jealously guarded and only awarded to the most worthy members of the club and of the community. Livia Coleman, kind and sympathetic, is indeed such a member and deserves it for the outstanding work she is doing in our community. Tom was called upon to be the sergeant for the evening. He did it with flair, matching the speakers topic namely BIRDS. He referred to himself , appropriately, as the Baard Mannetjie and to PP Margie as the pygmy falcon. PP Margie then introduced the speaker, Dr Stephens Evans, an ornithologist. He grew up in Klerksdorp as the son of Rotarians. His PhD was obtained by studying the Blue Swallow. It was a privilege to listen to the most informative speech titled: “In the Shadow of the Fairy Tern” This specific research was done by him on the St. Brandon’s Islands, north of Mauritius. During his stay on the Island he studied the 1,2 million seabirds end investigated the eggs for persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Let’s fill that jar in the bar with all your loose change. Let’s start ... Lennie Lion Casper thanked the speaker after which the wine draw was won Lynn Cohen. After the 4 way test was done by Clifton, President Nico concluded and invited all the guests to have dessert, coffee and good fellowship.

Why should you use social media to find out more about Lennie and our Rotary club? There are millions of reasons to use social media. In fact, there are more than 800 million Facebook users. Getting started with Facebook If you’re not on social media yet, consider starting with Facebook. Available in over 70 languages, Facebook has more than 28 million users age 45 and older. Best practices for Facebook include: • • • • • Use a Facebook page instead of a profile for your club or district. Give more than one person administrator rights to the page. Incorporate Facebook into your communications plan and budget. Post items from your weekly meeting or newsletter to your page. Update your Facebook page at least two to three times a week. The people on social networks live in your community. You may want to invite them to your next club meeting or fundraiser. They may belong to another Rotary club or organization that can help you with a community service project. They may need your help to start a Rotaract club. Social media also helps promote a positive image for Rotary, which contributes to the growth of the organization.
