29th August Dinner Meeting 2405

The Meeting opened at 7:00 PM

The Secretary saved a member who couldn’t remember the tune to which the Rotary Grace is sung.

A Toast to The Queen, Australia and Rotary was given by the Treasurer.

Dinner came out quickly so we ate that before the Secretary provided an in-depth recitation of the weeks communications both inwards and out, all of which was accepted by the members.

Business arising from that correspondence was the motion to accept the offer by the Temora Christian Leaders to assist as usual at the Carols in the Park on December the 11th. This was seconded by the Secretary and carried.

Little else of interest was forthcoming apart from the Service Director reminding individuals of the Spring Garden Raffle duties and Temora Show Day Gate duties.

Guest speaker tonight was Bruce Robinson Patriarch, of a large family run farm with his three son’s and their wives who gave the assembled members an insight to farming of this style.

The meeting wrapped up around 8:20 PM with the singing of the National Anthem.
