President's Report
 
President David is back!!!
 
Or so we are lead to believe.  But what trials and tribulations has his magnificent physique endured?  Has he wasted away to a shadow or has that Foreign Food had a deleterious effect?
 
Or is he just happy to get back to those special reds that Australia is so famous for, that no other country seems to be able to produce?
 
Or has his training allowed him to look like this man?

THIS WEEK AT ROTARY


This week RC Eltham hosts the long awaited Membership Cocktail Party at The Common.  Margaret Lane has worked tirelessly to present an informal but effective evening to showcase the members & their activities.
 
Brief presentations will focus on the following;
(1) The Club is busy & well respected in the local Community,
(2) Significant International projects  in South Asia and the Sub Continent,
(3) AquaBox disaster relief in Australia & Asia.
 
Shourouf has strongly supported the evening, will provide finger food & background music.
 
The success of the evening relies heavily on many Club Members introducing new contacts to the Club. All guests will take away fresh ideas of how to activate their individual Community & project interest. They will learn heaps about RC Eltham and make new friends. Do work hard to introduce a guest on Thursday.
 
President David returns from Europe to lead the evening. Margaret Lane will chair, no need for a FineMaster but every reason to devise a worthwhile raffle. Cost of the finger food will be $35, drinks @ bar prices. Do get behind this important evening.
