Coolamon Rotary Bulletin #1819-23

Meeting of 10th December (last regular meeting of 2018)

President Daryl welcomed 24 members (almost a record) & guests Anne B, Lana Collins (trainee doctor working with Dr Amir for next 2 weeks), Susan G, Helen L & Barry L.

Daryl thanked those who helped with the catering at opening of the ambulance station.

Vale Roger Quine:  Roger passed away last Sunday and was a longstanding member of Junee Rotary club and a strong supporter of our club for many, many years. The funeral will be next Monday (17th Dec) at the Wagga Crematorium, commencing at 10:30 am.

Coolamon Rotary Christmas party this Saturday at the residence of Daryl & Jann Breust at 7 pm. The main course including salads will be provided by your hosts. Each couple are asked to bring a dessert or nibbles. The cost will be $15 per couple to cover cost of meats and salads, etc.

Bingo this Thursday; rostered on are Grahame, Ian J, Myffy & Garth. Please be there by 6:45 to help set up.

A roster sheet for NYE was passed around for volunteers to help out with catering, etc, on NYE. A copy will be distributed to members this week and again after Christmas as a reminder.

Paul gave a presentation on his recent trip to the US, where he was greeted with heavy snow storms, which is very unseasonal for November. He visited his daughter and her partner and other family members and had a weekend out deer hunting but didn’t see one; maybe they were pre-warned.

Ted H once again led a lively fine session. The evening concluded with a meat and port wine raffle, the first prize going to Lyn and second to Don.

Remaining presentation nights at local schools:

Coolamon Central: Thursday Dec 13,  – Daryl B

Official Opening of Coolamon Ambulance Station

Coolamon Rotary was on hand to cater to the hunger of the officials and residents who came out for the official opening of the recently constructed ambulance station in Coolamon.  Rotarian Henk Hulsman deserves special mention for his role in helping to bring the much-needed station to Coolamon.  The club provided the eats in addition to serving it up for the crowd.

Coolamon Rotary Bulletin #1819 – 22

Meeting of 3rd December, 2018

President Daryl welcomed 18 members & guests Anne B, Lana Collins (trainee doctor working with Dr Amir for next 2 weeks), Helen L, Barry L & Russell B. Apologies from Myffy, Bern, Sarah, Don, Ian, and Anne.

The Coolamon ambulance station opening will take place on Friday, 7 December. Set up will be at 8.30; official opening is at 9:30 and finish about 11 am.  The following member are rostered on from 8:30:  Ted, John B, Dave, Dick, Lyn  & John G. 

Late meeting apologies
Daryl has asked that all members who cannot attend a meeting because of last-minute/unforeseen circumstances to let John Nulty know by midday on the day of the meeting at the latest.  If this is not possible, it is imperative to contact Diane & Gilbert on 6927 3552. The restaurant is charging the club for all members listed to attend, even if they don’t turn up.  It is patently unfair to expect the club to pay for these meals when it is in fact the responsibility of the individual member.

Please let John Nulty know numbers ASAP for Christmas Party at Daryl & Jann’s, so we know how much meat & salads have to be purchased.

Invitations to school presentation nights have been received; the following members and partners are representing our club. Contact the listed members if you wish to attend as well.

Ganmain: Tuesday, 4 Dec.  – Bern & Myffy

St. Brendan’s (Ganmain): ?? Dec   – Bern & Myffy

Marrar: Thursday, Dec 6,  – Alex & Ted

Matong: Tuesday, Dec 17, –  Dick J
