Guest Speaker
There was no guest speaker this meeting as it was a Committees Night so the members broke into Committee Groups.
Farewell
Sadly for us, Susan Law has resigned from the club as she is moving to the Southern Highlands. Susan was farewelled and we thank her for her fellowship and all her she has done for our club since joining. She has been a great member of the club and she will be missed. Susan gave a wonderful speech which she has given permission to be included in the Bulletin.
Susan’s Farewell Speech
“This Club is made up of interesting, motivated, concerned people who care for their community both at the Club level, local community, Australian and global. Not only do you care, but you do something about it whenever you see a need or an opportunity.
There are some amazing motivators among you, some who take responsibility for the onerous administration of the Club and others who put up their hands when hard yakka is needed – all of you working together to make a truly awesome team.
Message: It is often our very differences which add strength and range to our resources and therefore our ability to serve - be true to your own personal vision AND tolerant of those who see their membership role as different from yours.
To President Kevin: I know that you have been unable to carry out your ambitious plans for your Presidential year, however, I admire and respect the manner in which you modified your expectations, motivated and enabled the use of new technology and held us together to enable the Club to get through and come out even stronger than before.
To the rest of you, it has been my privilege to be a member of the Northbridge Rotary Club. I will miss both my role in the Club as well as the relationships I have developed and the friendships I have made with its members.
Ian and I will be moving to a small acreage in Glenquarry, just outside Bowral in the Southern Highlands. There will always be a cup of tea or coffee, some cake and even a bed available for any of you if ever you are in that part of the world – you all have my mobile number!
With best wishes for a happy, healthy and productive future to the Club.”
