Helen's Headlines - Monday 26 September 2011

What a great night last night - informative, educational and fun. I don't know about you but I found the tour and presentation of Caltooling quite an eye opener. For someone who works behind a desk and in front of a screen all day, it was great to learn that a 'tool maker' isn't someone who makes tools - it's someone who makes the machines that makes the tools!

On behalf of RCMM, thanks to Joe and Cheryl Calvo for organising the tour and inviting us all into the plastic injection mould world. I now have a greater appreciation of the trade and the craft. A big thanks also to RC Braeside who hosted a shared Rotary club meeting at the Dingley International Hotel. Not only did we socialise but we also shared some ideas about how our clubs can help each other out. I'll get into contact with them again to see what we can do about a fundraising night for ROMAC.

If you have any other ideas and contacts for future vocational tours please let Greg know. These behind-the-scenes tours are obviously enjoyed by everyone because they take us out of the meeting room and into another world of vocations that we don't see everyday. I also believe that they are a main attraction for people interested in joining Rotary because of the appreciation of vocational diversity.

I hope everyone has a great week in Rotary!
