VOCATIONAL VISIT - OAKBANK SCHOOL - FRIDAY JUNE 19

Registration has been enabled for this visit - please register HERE by June 17 at the latest.

Starting time is 9:00am and should be finished by 11:00am. Please wear closed shoes and weather appropriate clothes. See Michelle's email for further details.

RED WINE

There are lot of cartons of red wine left in the shed and we really need to move them on. For a bargain price of $100 per dozen, please see if you can take another dozen or sell some on to friends and family. Can we organise a day and time for people to pickup wine from the shed at tomorrow night's meeting? And can we please have it all gone by June 15 so I can total up the wine accounts before the end of the financial year. (Our profit so far is $340 - a far cry from the $3000 we usually make!)

BIRTHING KIT ASSEMBLY DAY

We will be assembling 200 Birthing Kits at Mark's place on Saturday June 13 - starting at 10:30 am. We need all hands on deck on the day and there is a sign up list available. We have 15 people signed up so far. Please sign up as soon as you know you are available. Obviously partners are most welcome! I need this information ASAP because if we don't get enough helpers I will need to organise the high school to do some for us.

There are also a number of other preparation jobs to be done which save a lot of time during the actual assembly. If you can help out with any of these please let me know:

• folding plastic sheets
• sorting gloves, soaps, blades etc - thanks Mark and Bec
• cutting string to the right length

PREPARATION FOR THE COMING ROTARY YEAR

Members would be familiar with the recent debate and resolutions taken about the future of our club.

A minority of  members favoured  winding up the club from the 30th June, while the majority voted to take another vote on the subject before the end of this calendar year, in the meantime making a concerted effort to rejuvenate the club.

Membership fees are shortly due for next financial year and our club dues to both Rotary International and District 9510 are based on the number of members as at the 1st July.

Therefore if it is your intention to not renew your membership for the following financial year would you kindly submit a letter/ email to that effect to President Rob well before the 30th June.

As I am in the process of organising a smooth transition of the Treasurer role to Darren, details of potential member numbers as at July 1 would be very helpful. I plan to have invoices already prepared to hand over to him.
