    President John's report
At our last Zoom meeting Monday 20 September 2021, we had an excellent
membership presentation by Renga Rjan and his wife Bharathi, where we
all encouraged to start bringing a friend to our face-to-face meetings,
as in Renja's view membership is a serious business.  
 
It has been a busy last couple of weeks for our club, with the move to ClubRunner
website and administration platform, plus President John's proposed
community service discussions with Burwood Council. See below for more details.
 
With much encouragement from Scout Symons from the Rotary Club of
Sydney Cove, Burwood Rotary is now pushing ahead with social media,
especially Facebook.Scout is also planning to interview Walter Bock as
part of Scout's District 9675 Podcast series.

During 2021 many programs, such as RYPEN, RYLA and YEP had to be to be abandoned and others, such as MUNA, were poorly attended. School closures prevented our club maintaining contact with the local students and the teachers who support our youth programs. However, the future looks much brighter.

The Year is 1991, two busses full of Rotary Exchange Students enter a parking lot in Sydney after 3 weeks around Australia on the “Capricorn Ramble Tour”. Saying goodbye was heart-breaking, knowing that we would soon be back home and maybe never see each other again.
