If you look at the ‘Coming Events’ listed below there are few projects coming to fruition in
the next few months. This does not mean that we are entering a period of inactivity. In fact
there is much going on at the committee level planning and organising activities for the
future. Some of the planning includes:-

 The International Committee is re-evaluating our overseas projects, taking into
account that we do not have sufficient members to undertake physical projects
overseas. They are also looking at our RAWCS projects to make sure they are
maintaining their relevance through their project leaders, Ratna and Som-Ling.
 The Youth Committee continue to support their ongoing Interact and Earlyact Clubs
while supporting an overseas exchange student. Add to this the RYDA program and
Equine Therapy program and you have a busy ongoing program
 Community Service Committee is looking to the future and plans are well under way
for
o Lift The Lid Walk
o Citizenship Ceremony
o Christmas Trailer Raffle
o Sausage Sizzle at ‘Surf for Kids’ Surf Carnival
o And more

 Membership Committee has been proactive in recruiting new members to our club
and making sure all our members remain engaged with the Club. Some of the
suggestions put forward by the committee are:
o Improve audio at the meetings – Make sure all can hear clearly
o Less people at each table
o Selection of guest speakers
 Club Admin – ongoing improvements to the Members website to make better use of
the data in our database for planning. Secretary Harry has instigated the idea of
creating a succession plan for the various committees we need to operate and has been
greatly assisted by Mary-Anne who has taken on the task of documenting the roles of
the various committees and listing the people who have filled these jobs in the past.
As you can see there is a massive amount of work being done as we progress towards a new
Rotary Year.
