Dear Fellow Club Members and Friends,
 
Thanks to Rotarian Mark Anderson from Rotary Foundation who was our guest speaker last week.
He opened our eyes to:
“What do we do?”
“Are we a fundraising organisation/Humanitarian Service organisation?”
“How much our club raised fund for Rotary Branded project?
 
Our fund-raising sub committee is working on several ideas and is open for suggestions. If you have any ideas contact Bernie Mason or Garry Maloney.
 
Sara Lin from Rotaract Macquarie Park/Ryde also joined our meeting to discuss their club's future direction and our club support.
 
My quote for this week: We give what we can
 
The month of August is Rotary membership and New Club Development month.
