ROTARY CLUB OF BEAUMARIS WEEKLY BULLETIN Number 39 4 May 2020

Presidents Message Next Meetings Well we soldier on in lock down and bleak winter weather which in some ways makes being confined to barracks a little THURSDAY 7 MAY 5:50 FOR 6:00 PM more normal. The Club keeps going on email and ZOOM. But, ROTARY MEETING VIA ZOOM - I have to say, not on the Club Blog which is disappointing. It SPEAKER ELLE GILES could be a lively place for an exchange of views, ideas and RED CROSS BLOOD BANK laughs if only a wider number of members had a go. We had two distinguished guest speakers at our last two THURSDAY 14 MAY 5:50 FOR 6:00 PM ZOOM meetings, Mark Brayshaw, CEO of the AFL Coaches ROTARY MEETING VIA ZOOM - Association, and from Channel 9 News (See STRATEGY MEETING reports within). I was inspired by Peter to watch The 9 News the other night and I found he was right when he said it gave THURSDAY 21 MAY us plenty of news in contrast to the ABC which 5:50 FOR 6:00 PM ROTARY MEETING VIA ZOOM - seems to be very Sydney dominated. What a great program ROTARY FELLOWSHIP NIGHT - Gail Anderson is delivering to the Club! MUSICAL QUIZ/JACKET DONATION PE Adrian is hard at work setting up his team for the next Ro- tary Year and putting in place a Strategic Plan to guide us into the next 5 years. Secretary Trish continues to keep us all in- formed. The May Board meeting will decide what to do about Changeo- ver. I have sent all members an email about our replacement raf- fles with generous prizes for the winners. It opened on May 1 and so far, we have had 8 members enter and October 1 st has gone! We have now paid for the wine prizes, but I do hope many more of you will enter so we can raise some money for THURSDAY 28 MAY RAM. 5:50 FOR 6:00 PM The next two ZOOM meetings at 6.00 pm on Thursday ROTARY MEETING VIA ZOOM - have Elle Giles from Red Cross Lifeblood and a Club Fo- PHIL WHEATLEY, YOUTH SUICIDE rum on our Strategic Plan.
