Week of July 13th
Things are returning to normal in our neck of the woods, with the Rotary Club of Coolamon meeting in person again this week. We had a healthy roll-up, with 22 members in attendance. Watch this space, however, because the recent COVID spike in Sydney has resulted in resumption of tighter restrictions on the size of groups meeting at restaurants in NSW. We’ll know soon what impact this will have on our weekly meetings. Let’s hope this “second wave” is short-lived and is not followed by subsequent waves, and that we’ll find a way to continue meeting in person. We’ll miss Albert’s lively fine sessions (accompanied by jokes that claim to pertain to unlucky members of the club). Bruce was this week’s victim–you’ll have to come to meetings if you want to hear these gems!
Our monthly Bingo resumed last week, but attendance was very light (not surprising because of the winter weather and the lingering concerns about COVID among our regular players, most of whom are in a high-risk age group). The Bingo committee will be meeting to discuss ways to increase participation in Bingo. Club members are encouraged to attend and have a go.
President Howard’s board met for the first time this week, and covered quite a bit of territory. We ran out of time to discuss Howard’s goals for the year, so this will be a topic of discussion at our upcoming Club Assembly on 3 August. Members are encouraged to attend that meeting in particular to hear what Howard hopes to accomplish this coming year and to provide input into the planning process. This will be an excellent opportunity for your voice to be heard!
