Membership

We’re regaining traction under Martin Ruffell

Foundation

Two sources of pressure

State of Victoria legislation

Rotary insurers nationwide

DG will email to Geoff copy of “Form 3”.

Peter Frueh’s CV is impressive:

DG Peter's CV

His career learnings are:

People are the key

You need good systems

Attitude beats experience, and,

You need to work together.

His presentation was so audience friendly:

3 questions for George [“Keep it short”]

A tale of how one member on a Senior’s Back Packing “year off” stumbled across a lode of perfect linen labelled

“For Disposal” from FIFO accommodation in the North West.

45 plus 70 pallets of linen eventually shipped by donors and distributed via Rotary.

Peter reassured us that Foundation is all good and introduced us to the “Centurion” toys to collect $2 coins.

Membership is easy:

Just mention it to folk and start the conversation.

Swap Meet

Stan reported that our club performed well.
