At last weeks meeting we heard from three separate local businesses.   They are all trading in Mount Eliza Village.  Thanks to Frank Flowers and the Vocational Committee for the organisation.   I must say that they were three very diverse people, one a bakery, a physiotherapist and an interior decorator.  They were extremely articulate with excellent presentation aids.  I was reminded of the history of Rotary being built around the activities of businesses and the way they can assist one another.  

 

Overnight, all members have been informed about the death of Barbara Reid.  Barbara was the wife of one of our founding members Graham Reid who we lost last year.    Barb was always a  great  support to Graham in his Rotary involvement.  She went to hospital for tests approximately two weeks ago but deteriorated and passed away 9:30pm Wed.  Her family were with her.  PP Neil Heron is part of her extended family and  was very involved in looking after Barb since Graham passed away.  Funeral arrangements will be published as soon as they are known.  Our thoughts are with her family.

 

We  have elected to not have normal dinner meeting on Tuesday 8^th in favour of a Petanque night.  The night is partly competitive but mostly a social evening.  Don’t be shy, if you have never played Petanque before.  Tuition is available and its easy.  Bring your partner and have some fun.  Book on-line, details are in this bulletin.
