President's message, 08.08.22 (excerpt)
Bev Moffat, President 2022-23
Despite only 11 attendees at the meeting, we held a lively and enthusiastic business meeting on Monday night with plenty of positive input from those attending. John spoke to us about the Jennifer Jones Membership challenge and outlined the message and steps currently in place to make membership in our club more balanced and diverse. It is proposed that we will put a Zone submission in to be selected as part of this challenge, so watch this space. Diverse ideas were put forward on some of the possible events we could run to engage with members of the community, and fantastic input from Donna and Mick on engaging with a younger demographic was welcomed. John also discussed the Aspiring Leaders Programme and is working to get this advertised soon, with a view to having 2 to 3 people joining the programme by the end of October. We will need your help to promote this as widely as possible.
Sacha Finlay-Collins from Santa Maria College has been nominated to attend NYSF with a 33% sponsorship from Attadale Rotary. She is encouraged to use fund raising efforts to account for a further 33%, with the balance to be funded by her parents. RYPEN event in September has been cancelled due to Covid impact.
DG Ric McDonald has asked clubs to arrange combined meetings for his visit, this is currently being worked on. Melville Rotary is proposing a “Bridging the Gap” Project and will attend one of our meetings in September or October to tell us more about the project and any way that Attadale Rotary may be able to assist.
Finally, I am calling for suggestions from members for ideas of projects that we can undertake as fund raisers. We have had all our efforts curtailed over the past two years, and I am looking for something to encourage enthusiasm and participation of our members. Let me know any thoughts you may have!
We have no guest speaker for the meeting on 15 th August, so I will be doing a thumbnail sketch to tell you a bit about my life. I would love to have your company!
Yours in Rotary
Bev
