First of all, congratulations to PDG and PP Philip for the award of his 5th sapphire with the Paul Harris Fellow for services to the District. We all know how much he and Carol have supported the club, the district and Rotary and it's lovely to see that the work has been acknowledged. Congratulations!
Last night we had a Club Forum to continue the results of our Member Survey focussing on Committee Meetings. We all voiced our thoughts and our ideas and agreed that Committee meetings are important so that we may plan and action projects. In the past they have been ad hoc, or not happened at all. We agreed that Committee Meetings need not occur outside our regular meetings and we decided as a group that they will now occur every couple of months during the Club Forum/Board Night meeting. During these times, the two committees split by Community, New Generations and Vocational; and, Foundation and International will use this time to plan and action what projects and support they need.
Our first club 'committee meeting' will be on Monday 15 August. On this night, sit with your respective group (or split to go anywhere else in the venue) to prepare, plan and write your action plans.
I've asked Committee Members to have their reports about their annual projects ready before the NEXT board meeting on 15th August 2011. This allows you plenty of time to speak to your committee and write out your plans for presentation at this board meeting.
We're also sending our best wishes for a speedy recovery to Ian and to Paul who have been in hospital. Get better soon so that we can see you again!
I hope you all have a lovely week. I leave you all with this week's quote by Pablo Picasso, "Action is the foundational key to all success."
