President’s Piece
Last Monday’s meetingwith the Mayorof the City of Monash, Cr. Greg Male,was quite valuable.In discussing membership diversity the Mayor suggested I meet with his Community Service Director, Carolyn Mc Clean who would be able to put me in touch with members of the Multicultural Advisory Committee. A presentation about our Club, and Rotary, to the Advisory Committee could be beneficial. The Mayor also suggested that we could consider having a stall at the Chinese Lantern Festival (March 2012) which attracts up to 35,000 people. A Rotary Club marketing brochure written in Chinese with contact details for all the Monash Clubs would support our diversity aims.We could also consider providing some sponsorship for the event.
Secretary Michele has issued a notice about the Special Meeting on the 8th August to consider the changes in the Clubs Constitution/By-Laws. If you have any queries or issues about the changes can you please bring them to my attention well before the Special Meeting.
I am delighted with the response from members happy to have a meeting on the 25th July despite the original meeting being cancelled. I have yet to get to the bottom of this embarrassing debacle.
