President s Message Thank you Anne for informing us about Rotarians Against Malaria (RAM), a major RAWCS (Rotary Australia World Community Service) last week. Certainly there was plenty of detail to assist in our understanding of the situation and thank you for saving us from overload. The 3 hour seminar she went to sounded very taxing on the brain. Short and sharp was all we could digest properly. Lots of events happening - see the Bulletin list and also Maree will fill you in on the key ones to put into your diary. The first major event being next week. Please give us numbers by the end of the meeting this week. We need to give the caterers the optimum time possible to prepare. Today I also sent an email to Ulverstone West to confirm our invitation to them for the 22 nd May. Westbury and Latrobe have also been invited. Could turn out to be quite an evening if a good number from each Club can come. Now for this week - a bit self indulgent possibly, but, what power a President can have! A big '0' Birthday coming up and a good time to celebrate that and life in general. And what better way to do it than with Rotary friends and family. It can be a partners evening as well so please invite 'he or she who must be obeyed' if they would like another night out with Rotary. Otherwise I do hope we will see them all next week. Yours in Rotary Gayle Anzac Day Service PP Michael Horne with wreath; and Governor, Her Excellency Kate Warner giving address
