MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Firstly I would like to apologise for the lateness of SPOKE last time round. If you attended the meeting last week you would know that there was an error via ClubRunner that wasn't brought to my attention until that night.
I know a bad workman blames his tools, but you have to believe me on this one.
Thank you for everyone's patience!
I think I speak for everyone who was there that the talk given by Stephen Humphreys on Rotary Health last week left us both spellbound and inspired.
The projects that Rotary Health funds is something I am keen to continue to support as a club.
Especially post-COVID-19 the support for mental health research is just so important and needs more support.
If you have any ideas on what we can do to help Rotary Health please let me know or let us know at the next Club Meeting on Monday.
Our guest this week is Keith Roffey OAM.
For those who don't know, Keith is the current Chair of the District 9675 Rotary Foundation Committee as well as the National Chair of MediShare.
Keith has a had a variety of top positions with Rotary and brings with him an enormous wealth of knowledge about amazing projects that Rotary manages.
A TRUE Rotary champion, Keith Roffey has been awarded a Medal (OAM) of the Order of Australia in the King’s Birthday Honours List for service to the community through a range of organisations.
Please ensure you come to our next meeting and make Keith feel welcome!
Again, Just a reminder that tickets for the 2024 District Conference (8-10 March 2024) are now on sale on the District website. I will provide details later in this email.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
