3 ROTARY HEALESVILLE s Bulletin July 27th, 2017 From the President s Desk... Hi everyone, Another busy week. Preparation for DG s visit, bank signature transfer, membership seminar, to name but a few. Tonight is the District Governor s visit. With a Christmas in July theme and lots of festive spirit it promises to be a great evening. The club gives our President Elect David Lau a warm welcome. We wish him all the best in his position. Well done also to Wilma, who is off raising money again for the Milking Cow and Goat Project, this time with a Healesville High School fundraiser on 10 August. It is a Rotary night but we encourage families and friends to attend. To keep the community and the public informed about our projects, we have placed an ad in the mail newspaper, which should also help with our membership drive. Former Exchange student Weds By helping to create a good public image I m sure it will attract new members. I urge any member with a new idea or project to come forward and discuss it with the committee. Together we can do it. Ray Jarvis attended the recent district membership seminar and came back with some good ideas for the club and the club s future. Well done Ray. On Tuesday night the A Welcome Team of Don, Terry, Stu and I went to the airport to welcome Emma de la Morinerie. We had a very nice welcome scene, with balloons, a welcome sign and a French flag, which impressed Emma very much. All went well, except for Terry who was nearly arrested for terry-ism for accidentally discharging two balloons. Enjoy the evening with our DG and ADG. Merry Christmas in July everyone. Sam Halim Former Rotary Exchange student from Germany Anne Wawra on the occassion of her wedding to Sebastian Muller-Rosenbach on 2nd June, 2017 in Wòrthsee, Germany. The attending Australian contingent included Stuart McDonald RYE, Stephen Shortis (Incoming Counsellor) wife Jean and grandson Nike, Barbara Dickson (one of the four host families). Page 3
