DG's
WEEKLY message
Rotary Friends and Families
What lovely weather.
I joined my club's visit to Halls Gap where the Rotary
Club of Kyneton enjoyed lots of fun and fellowship - Fran was away in Adelaide attending a Zonta conference. It reinforced to me why
the fellowship at Rotary is so important as it enables us to strengthen our
clubs as we get to know each other better.
The past week has been quieter with club visits and we enjoyed meeting with
Point Gellibrand and I met with South Yarra and Laverton Point Cook. It was
particularly pleasing to be at South Yarra where I assisted in the induction
of two new members following the three inducted the week before.
At Laverton Point Cook the noise from the big storm last Wednesday made it
difficult to be heard however Exchange student Gergo from Hungary made it
easier on himself with an excellent video of his home town Szeged filmed
from a light aircraft flying quite low over this beautiful city.
Last week I referred to the plea from three of our Ambassadorial Scholars
for sergeant's fines for October to be donated to the Hurricane Katrina
appeal and I hope that you are all taking this on board.
Enjoy your week in Rotary.
DG John Wigley
Thought for the Week:
One machine can do the work of 50 ordinary men. No machine can do the
work of one extraordinary man.
