We had PDG Ken Stonestreet talking about himself. These talks are always such fun because you learn so much about someone who you see every week but really know so little about.
Maybe it's because as a club, generally, our members are more interested in the present and the future rather than the past. Maybe that's why we have a constant flow of new members into the club. There's nothing that puts people off more than endless talk on how wonderful the
club used to be.
Looking to the future certainly personifies Ken because he never dwells on the past and he never plays the 'Past District Governor' card.
This picture includes about half of us at the meeting and the question is 'Spot the DG. Here's a clue, you can tell by the shirt.
This Week
It's a Social Meeting so it's a good time to come and see what we get up to and observe us talking to each other.....we might even talk to you!
Rotary Blanket Drive
Last week Dave Bradshaw sent round a roster for the Blanket Drive at the beginning of May and it was practically complete. There are gaps. If you can assist please contact him.
Rotary Leadership Institute
Here are the next range of courses being offered:11th May - Parts 1 and A
18th May - Parts 2 and B
1st June - Parts 3 and C
You have to start with Part 1. Training isn't really the Club's strong point but it would be great if we could encourage new Rotarians in particular to start with Part 1. These courses will be in Boksburg. More details to follow.
Why climate change is Rotary’s business and what Rotarians are already doing about it
Rotarians understand that the whole world is their backyard. They can see the effects of climate change in communities they care about, and they haven’t waited to take action. They’re tackling the problem the way they always do: coming up with projects, using their connections to change policy — and planning for the future.
