Tonight’s meeting is our last for
this calendar year and it is hoped
all will enjoy this gathering as a
celebration of our work together
and an extension of the goodwill of
Christmas and Rotary fellowship.
This first half of the 2014-15
year seemed to start in a somewhat disjointed fashion. Perhaps
brought about by the installation
of some minor changes and the
uncertainty of our Club’s path
ahead.
I am pleased to observe that the
conduct of Rotary business continued without falter. We came up
against a few obstacles that have
brought pause to a couple of plans
but overall, when called to perform, Rotarians have done just
that.
The winter months are never
kind to us when it comes to outdoor activity and on the turn of
the weather, we’ve had the likes of
the 150th Anniversary of Healesville take precedence.
Nevertheless, although not up
to expected use yet, we have managed to roll out our latest asset, the
barbeque trailer, and thus prove
to ourselves it will bring revenue.
Our part in the celebration of
the township’s 150th Anniversary
was marked in a small way by our
inclusion in the Street Parade early in November.
Following that, we see the completion of the Healesville HistoriPage 4
December 18th, 2014
cal Walk, a project opened yesterday and destined to appear on the
front page of the Mail newspaper
this week.
John Robinson is the imagineeer
of this project and his contact with
the Healesville Historical Society,
Council staff and contractors has
seen an admirable example of connectivity and thus ensured the success of this project.
We have all had a chuckle
as we’ve ribbed Bob Earl over
the emerging control over our
bookeeping. We have laughed
over a matter we all know to be
very important and we can now be
cognizant of Bob’s determination
to transform from cabinetmaker
to bookeeper, well done Bob!
I could list many of our members, who when asked, have willingly put their shoulder to the
wheel and performed for Rotary.
As a first time President and
a relative newcomer, I have enjoyed the high level of attendance
of Rotarians at our meetings, the
increasing willingness to hold our
club together, the fellowship displayed to each other and outsiders
and bubbling along under all of us,
that ever present, “Service Above
Self”
It makes me very proud to say
that I too, am a Rotarian.
Merry Christmas to all and
looking forward to the New Year.
Regards, Don
