Rotary Club of Roseville Chase Bulletin Vol: 26 No: 8 1 September 2015 Meeting The Schedule speaker, Carole Sandberg is currently unwell and not able to attend this meeting. So we are delighted to hear from (almost) new member MIKE HARROWELL on the topic “Microbes to Megaboom” Mike has worked as a mining engineer in underground coal and copper mines, before switching to finance. He was a portfolio manager with AMP and Bankers Trust over a 15 year period, then spent 15 years as a mining focussed stock broker including 10 years at Merrill Lynch. He is currently consulting to the mining industry, with a particular focus on the Rare Earths. His presentation is entitled “Microbes to Megaboom”, a quick walk through 3 billion years of geology and the building of BHP, hopefully putting minerals and mining into a more positive context than traditionally the case in the South Eastern States of Australia.

Birthdays September 3 Peter Bowden 24 John MacKintosh 2 Rotary Club of Roseville Chase Bulletin President’s Report The presentation by Sue Parbury and Mahua Das on “how to attract a time poor generation” had some resonance with our action to attract members and to build “Friends of Rotary” through links with local business and organisation. There are businesses and individuals that are philanthropic and want to be seen to be ‘supporting a good cause’ and being supportive of their community. Our challenge as Rotarians is to show them that Rotary and its local, national and international connections can be the ‘good cause’ on a number of different levels, that these people are looking for.. The new brochure the Membership committee have recently produced has been designed to speak to these people. Lets all make an effort to inform people of the rewards and benefits of being part of our Rotary Club. Be a gift to the world………….start local. Fun Run suggestion for discussion. • Best Dressed runners • BMX bike race - rules? 10km Course? • Free Hot Dog – thin sausage in bread (Stamp Race Bib) • Medalions Reprint or other suggestions? • School / Class competition?? • Better structure of supporter stands I would appreciate your thoughts on these ideas on potential ways to revamp the Fun Run. Email me your comments. Regards President Duncan Rotary Club of Roseville Chase Bulletin 3 Next Week’s Meeting Tuesday 8 September 2015.
