Dear Club Members and Friends,
We had a very productive Club Assembly on Friday even though we were small group. We looked at our three main priorities for this year and discussed some strategies to meet our goals. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Assembly, I will collate the information and update our plan on the club website.
It was fun to see so many different styles of hats worn for the Lift the Lid on Mental Health Hat Day - see our photos below!
We also welcomed local Podiatrist, Reid Lyon who attended as a guest. Reid is very interested in becoming a Friend of Rotary and supporting our club particularly with the Fun Run. We look forward to Reid attending some meetings from time to time in the future.
The Thank You breakfast for this year's North Ryde Fun Run sponsors will be held on Friday 23 November. There will be no club meeting on Friday 9 November in lieu of the extra meeting next month. I will be sending out an evaluation survey to members about the Fun Run shortly to assist us in planning for next year.
This Friday's meeting will be another Club Assembly focussing on the IT Country Students' Visit. David Martin will chair the meeting this week as I have committed to supervising the HSC English exams.
David has organised our social this month will be brunch at the
Groundskeeper Café, Ryde Park, 30 Argyll Street, Ryde. We will meet at
