THE COG - RCM Meeting 1588 Bulletin 6 July 2016
President’s News
PRESIDENT’S NEWS.
Having presided over my first Meeting as President I am now somewhat relieved and I wish
to thank all in attendance for going easy on me.
It was great to have Ken Vear back in the Sergeant’s Chair and he kept the meeting rolling
along. Other members who have indicated their willingness to do the Sergeant’s role this
year are Geoff Brown, Penny Miller, David Riggall and Brian Sincock. If you have not
undertaken the role of Sergeant previously and would like to have a go, speak to either
myself or Judi Brown.
Past President Damian Leach from the Rotary Club of Campbelltown attended and made a
presentation of a 50th anniversary bottle of wine in a token of appreciation of thanks to
Morialta following the assistance our Club provided earlier in the year for the Movies in the
Park. This bottle will be opened and shared at next week’s meeting.
Our Club’s subscriptions ($250.00) are now due and payable to Treasurer Peter Mayer who
would appreciate your prompt payment.
A draft list has been drawn up for the various committees for the 2016/2017 Rotary Year.
These committees will be ratified at the Club’s Board meeting on 5th July 2016 and
announced at next week’s meeting which will be a Committee Meeting night. Take this
opportunity to hear from your relevant Director their plans for the year and be willing to
share your thoughts and ideas.
If you are unable to attend a meeting could you please advise Di Potter accordingly . Di can
be contacted on 0400736408 or by email : [email protected]
See you all at next week’s meeting on Wednesday at The Rezz – 6.00 pm for 6.30 pm.

District 9520 Info
The Herald is a pin board full of short messages that are a joy to share. The weekly goal is
for 5 pages in total covering at least 10 stories. This publication is for Rotarians on the move,
so read it on your watch, your phone, pad and laptop. DG Dick would like to be assured that
most Rotarians in our District read “The Herald”, and use it share their stories. Editor Sam
Cozens is waiting for your story and photo for the next “The Herald” at
[email protected].

DISTRICT 9520 FOOTY TIPPING
Round 14 saw a solid performance by most tippers. More than half the tippers recorded a 5-out-of-6 score,
with most failing to give St Kilda any chance against Geelong.
However, one solitary tipper stood wasn’t swayed by any ladder rankings. Judy Cushway (Morialta)
recorded a perfect 6-from-6 round – the only tipper to do so.
This follows Judy’s 9-from-9 during Round 1 – clearly proving it was no fluke!!
Unfortunately for Judy, this is still in middle of a 3-week mini-competition so there is no weekly prize. Judy
will have to be satisfied with ‘bragging rights’ – which I expect she exercised vigorously at her club’s
changeover function.
So on to Round 15 which will complete the mini-comp. Remember that prizes will be awarded for the best
3-week total score. There are lots in the running so GOOD LUCK for finding a (winning) place.

would like
to read the correspondence received from the Rotary Club of Howe of Fife

Does anyone have any “stories” to include in our website. This is an excellent way to keep the
history of our club. Many stories are already included from the 10 year history of Morialta.
see Stories here.
Photo Albums are now stored on Facebook. Click here and I believe you can have a look
without having a Facebook account. Give it a go.
Photo Albums – click here to see Kiosk Album including photos of the fire at the Kiosk in 1998.
Changes have been made to our Club Website, particularly in the “Member Area”. If you would like to have
a look go to www.morialta.org.au. You will need a password. Please contact Judy or Alan if don’t remember
it. It is no longer “undertaker”. If you know what it is remember the uppercase “R”.
The Member Area is divided into three areas: Our Club; District 9520; Rotary International.
Our Club will give you such things as: Morialta directory, directors list, by-laws, constitution, insurance
certificate, Usa Trip Itinerary 2016, current forms, meeting activities and procedures President Profiles.

more.
