Does Australia Day date pass the 4 -way test

Using the 4 way test needs to be done with care. A certain scribe has met a few folks who are all too quick to use it on others and not on themselves, (which was the original purpose of teh test). But how about applying it to the Australia Day date? Does it pass the test;
 
  • Is it the TRUTH?
  • Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  • Will it build GOODWILL and better FRIENdSHIPS?
  • Will it be BENEFICIAL to ALL concerned?
What do you think?

Club gets nominated for Community Award - and causes an email stir

Alex Rotary  has been nominated for a community award, and so had to submit a bio of 400 words. The courageous Tony filled his inkwell and took out his quill and penned together a creditable first  effort at club bio. He forwarded to a certain scribe who had inherited a worn red pen from a certain school supremo, and set to work to tidy up the draft. So far so good. Then our erstwhile Secretary made the understandable mistake of showing this effort to the club. At this point two club members shone above the rest and sprung into action with red pens of their own. Such is the world of an enthusiastic and active club. You can see their efforts on the club webpage.  www.alexandrarotary.com
 
There will be a dinner to celebrate the various community leaders and clubs who " make a difference" to our community. See Val for details.

Container working bee

The wet weather has been playing havoc with our club container and we'll need to replace the personnel door. So be careful what you "volunteer" for as a working bee is looking imminent!
