President' s report

  Hi Fellows, 

  Thankyou to those that attended last night’s home meeting at Keith and Jeanette’s. 

  If open discussion is the mark of a good meeting ,I think we achieved that. We discussed a Christmas     Family breakfast , but felt that time to organise was not appropriate. 

 Sam suggested an Easter Family Breakfast/Lunch at his Warehouse, all agreed that this was a perfect   location and timing. We need a committee to organise this ,Sam has asked for volunteers, Sam and two   others. The suggested date was Sunday 10^th April. This is a week before Easter Sunday ,as many of us   could/would be away for Easter

  Tree of Joy.   BCWS are not able to run this wonderful Rotary program this year , they are still working   from home. I suggested to BCWS that Burwood Rotary could organise the collection and delivery of   Gifts, if they could prepare the donation cards. We are still to hear back from BCWS

  * RYLA  entries close very shortly ,we don’t have any applications at this stage , can you nominate a     young person for this most worthwhile program

 *Combined Christmas Dinner and our Official Change Over.  Monday 13^th December ,transferred from   28^th June , location to follow

 * Gods Love Church ,Sam and Fred. along with Brooke Endicott Director of Community Life from   Burwood Council attended a meeting last Friday. With the purpose to assist this church is supporting     ,those in need within our Community ,and assessing how we could assist.  The Church  supports 6   other churches with food parcels, plus residents who need food parcels. We originally were thinking of   having a Soup Kitchen type setup ,based on Sydney Coves Breakfast at St Stephens Church ,Macquarie   St Sydney.  Sam and Fred realised that the Church was in need of a building to work out of  and , as we  aren’t Real Estate agents ,we couldn’t assist

  We will continue in or efforts  to find ways of assisting our Community

  *Guest Speakers. Rotary Meetings will recommence in our normal format  from Jan/Feb next year ,we       are looking for Guest Speakers, Are there Speakers that you could recommend,

  *I would also appreciate if a Burwood Rotarian would take on the roll of Program  Director

  For the remainder of this Rotary Year and possibly for Fred’s year . Please give this real consideration.

  We finished with Pizzas and a drink at 8.45, Thankyou Keith for your hospitality

  *Next Meeting at Fuad and Lourice' s 22 nd November 6 PM start. .
