President Jess's Message.
 
 
Vsem Privet
 Hello, everyone in Russian seeing as there has been a 30,000-year-old cave bear found perfectly preserved in the Lyakhovsky Islands, in the New Siberian Islands archipelago – what a find!
 
This week we had our annual quiz night with Altrusa. What a fun night out it was! 😊 After a few technical errors on my part, well that’s a lie, they continued right until the end of the night haha!  The night was a great success.  Donna and Cheryl were great quiz masters and had some very good questions in their lists. Congrats to our own “Deer Guy” team who were the champs on the night! Thank you to all the committees who were involved in the organisation of the night – you did well!

Host Duties.
 
When doing Host Duties (i.e. Duty Roster), please remember that you set tables, raffles etc up for the night.
Then at the end of the meeting you need to pack up again and return table numbers etc. into the box and put away.
The large sign outside door must also be packed away (this part isn't always been done). 
It then falls to those leaving last.
RAFFLE PRIZES
 
For this Rotary year, President Jess would like members to take turns at providing the raffle prize (no alcohol please), either by buying a prize to the value of $10 to $15 (keep the receipt and ask Treasurer Jenny for reimbursement using the claims form click here...) or maybe you have a suitable prize you'd like to donate.
 
To make it simple to keep track of whose turn it is, the person on Host Duty 2 will be asked to provide the raffle prize for the week.
 
When it's your turn to provide the prize:
  • Please put the prize on the Host table no later than 5:30 pm.
  • Make sure there's a raffle sheet (from the host bin) and a pen on the table.
  • If you are unable to attend Rotary, and you are unable to find someone to swap, please contact Robyn Baldwin so she can arrange cover for the night.
Altrusa Annual Quiz Night.
 
Last Tuesday evening we held our 'Annual Altrusa Quiz Night' at our tea meeting in which the Rotary 'Deer Guys' team won (after a recount) gave them 28.5 points.

Possible Polio Fundraiser.

This year, COVID has made planning and running the annual Polio Movie Event much more challenging than usual! There will be issues in some locations but, with appropriate measures, such as masks, sanitiser and sensible seating arrangements, it is possible for events to go ahead in most areas.

This year’s movie is I Am Woman. It’s the story of Australian singer/songwriter, Helen Reddy, who shot to global stardom in the seventies. While set in the US, the movie is a local production. Tilda Cobham-Hervey is sensational in the lead role.

Remember this is "your" bulletin and so please email information to me on what your committee is doing (or planning) so everyone can be aware of it.
Lack of the above will mean the bulletin is not advising the members of what is happening in the club & particapation will be down.
