From fellowship and through all the avenues of service, I believe we achieved that objbctive. There were, of course, many other objectives which developed into projects and these are listed in this Annual fteport of eicfr of the committees. propose I 9on'I to,highlight any projects, they were all important. So much has been achieved that you wohobr [ow we maniged to do so much. please read these reports. I would now like to talk about people - people who have made this year important to me - important to us att. Firstly, every club has to have a Secretary, but when you have the best club Secretary how much better it is. My giui.irl thanks to Ron carnell. |{e,also.enjoyed the services of a Minute Secretary at our Board Meetings and I thank Ron Arthur for lris contribution- Side by side with the best Secretary is a diligent thanks perdriau, rreasurer. My special to Geoff who is stepping asio6 trris year after tnree years as Treasurer. Previously, I had found that the club service Director was the key man in the organisation of a Rotary club, so r irroi",lor,n Thwaites quiet achiever - the - who had the oirricuit task oi-iorinisteiing-ir,e club at the grass roots level. He did not let us down.- Our attendance record has been of a high standard - a first, several seconds and thirds and never lower attributable thai tenth in the district, is direcly to the q!arity of the speakers at ori'*.ar,iv',i,..iirgr. 0ur thanks go to program Chairman, David'Doyle. I have always said that our weekly meetings Sergeant's don, ts tart to fire until the Session. Sergeant Ian- Col t ins"maOe u sl augh, he extracted fines without offence, f,6 joked and we 3oin"J-in- ,h e scattered barbs and bouquets - he deserves our generous appiause. To Grapevine Editol,,.Ron pht]tip:, and-his team, I reserve my speciar thanks- when you think of ilre b2'weekrv iorrilments, and arranging writing, composing our best instrument of communication, you appreciate the enormitv of the task.
