Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes for end of month
Our meetings in the last week of the month will have a new format starting from July. As President John mentioned in his address a few weeks ago, this meeting will be all about fellowship and communication.  What does this mean exactly? Well, on July 25th this will include:
 
  • Welcoming a new member into Rotary Dunedin!
  • Finding out about the exciting projects happening in August
  • Some more new events and plans for the year
  • Latest news from the Board
  • Still unable to log-on to the new website, have no idea what this 'ClubRunner' business is all about? Cameron will show you how to log on and answer any questions.
District Governor Tania Lowrey

DG Tania Lowery (Balclutha club) addressed the club via a DVD. The main topics she covered were – 

  • Projects 
  • Polio challenges (personal donations) and the ride-the-trains fundraiser 
  • She introduced the 2019-20 District 9980 leadership team and the DG’s Elect and Elect-Elect 

Follow this link www. [Editor note: will be added this week] to watch her address – it’s well worth it! 

Check out her car and how the DGE-E got arrested, tried and sentenced. 

She also promoted the District Conference (17-19 April 2020) and it sounds like a winner. Plan to be there.

President John Drummond - The Year Ahead

Our new President, John Drummond presented his vision for the club in the coming year at the 4th July meeting.  He quoted Tania lowery (DG) “less Hui more Do-Ye”. 

John outlined steps to achieve this: 

  • A goal of a monthly activity using the example of collecting donations at local supermarkets for women’s refuge.  
  • Creating a calendar of events which would allow the club to promote events in advance to the public. By involving non-members at events it will create a way to attract new members.
  • Following up with organisations who the club has provided funds to be able to see the impact they have made. 
  • Connecting internationally to do projects in other countries. 
  • Rebranding the club from the Rotary club of Dunedin to “Rotary Dunedin” and appointing a marketing director.
