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, either by buying a prize to the value of $10 to $15 (keep the receipt and ask Treasurer Jenny for reimbursement) 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

Executive Permanent Email Addresses.
Just a reminder about the Club Executive now all using permanent club email addresses (as per the email sent out by Lionel last month):-
President: timaru.rotary.president@gmail.com
Secretary: timaru.rotary.secretary@gmail.com
Treasurer: timaru.rotary.treasurer@gmail.com
Also, the club uses the email address timaru.rotary@gmail.com so any member of the public can email us (this address is monitored by the secretary).
The reason for the permanent email addresses is so each year they stay the same (and no one is emailing a previous member who held the position - also it stops club emails getting mixed with personal emails, plus if someone is filling in for an executive they can have access to their respective email address).
The above information will be listed for future reference on the LHS of the bulletin between 'Apologies' & 'Thought For The Week'.
