Coolamon Rotary Bulletin #1819-8

Week of 20th August, 2018

President Daryl welcomed 13 members and presented Dave McK with his director’s badge as he was away on the changeover night. We all then enjoyed a beautiful steak and veges & banana fritters for desert.

As there was no speaker on the evening we discussed upcoming events, including:

  •  the planning for catering at this w/e event for the Randall family fundraiser. A roster sent around, but there are a few gaps to be filled.  If you are able to help on the day please let Secretary Paul know.
  • Jake the local police officer will be guest speaker next week. Should be an interesting evening!
  • Friday Sept 7 –  Junior football & netball presentation night;  we are catering at the back of the Sport & Rec Club & our club is covering the cost of the meat.
  • Motion approved that we donate $1000 to the drought appeal which we will send to David Benn, the local coordinator.
  • Daryl brought up the possibility of changing venue for Bingo to the Uniting Church hall;  it was decided that the 6 captains will have a meeting to discuss.

The winner for the correct answer in the Bulletin was Dick J.

John Bond was the lucky winner of the raffle.
