Coolamon Rotary News Bulletin #11

 

MEETING March 26th 2018

Paul welcomed all 18 members to a members’ fellowship night.

No correspondence due to our secretary’s absence.

Treasurer’s report –

$406 profit from street raffle last week

$560 profit from Foundation dinner evening

Points of discussion for the evening were:

  • Brief discussion on planning for markets this Easter Saturday.
  • A roster sheet was sent around for members to fill in.
  • However due to a number of members being away this week more members &/0r partners are needed to help out in the food van; please contact President Paul if you are available to help. 
  • A motion was moved to change raffle from $5 per ticket back to $2 per ticket, or two for $5. After some brief discussion of pros & cons the motion was passed.
  • A reminder about District conference on first week in May; if you are interested in going the link for registration can be found below. 
  • A reminder about Bingo on the week after Easter; Daryl is the Captain for that night and he will phone those rostered on as a reminder.
  • Dave gave some discussion on Youth programs such as RYDA which need more promotion to get more students involved.

March is WATER and SANITATION  month

More than 2.5 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation facilities. At least 3,000 children die each day from diarrheal diseases caused by unsafe water. Our projects give communities the ability to develop and maintain sustainable water and sanitation systems and support studies related to water and sanitation.
