MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION NIGHT
On the 8thof May the club held a membership information night to assist with building the club’s membership numbers and to provide interested members of the community with an insight into the overall activities of the club.
Our guest speakers for the evening were Alan Mackay-Sim, Australian of the Year, honoured for his work in stem cell development. Fiona Simpson, State Member of Parliament and Amy Hedevang Fris our visiting Youth Exchange Student frombuilding of schools Denmark.
The main thrust of the information was to highlight the activities of the club in particular and Rotary in general both on the local and internation scene. The many faces of Rotary coverd the diversity of its activities from health, youth services,support for overseas projects such as safe drinking water,builing of schools etc and the eradication of polio world wide.
Special emphasis was placed on youth services that areavailable such as the Youth Exchange Programme, Rotary Youth Ledership Programmes and The Work Life Programme which is an Alexandra Club initative.
The function was well attended and the Alexander Headlands Surf Club handled the catering and venue in their usual friendly and efficient manner.
It is hoped that the five potential members who expressed an interest in becoming Rotarians will soon swell our numbers as a result of this enjoyable evening.
