President’s Message 11 Dec 17

Last week Pete Henry came along to

present us with a certificate acknowledging

the help of the Rotary Club of Heidelberg

with the number plate program. He was

also apologetic for the fact that certificates

had not been provided for our contributions over the

last few years.

When it transpired that our guest speaker

was unable to attend due to sickness Pete

stepped in at the last moment and spoke

to us about the Neighbourhood Watch

program. His perspective from his

background in the police force certainly

made it an interesting topic, with food for

thought in the declining public interest in

what has been a very worthwhile program.

There will be no meeting next week.

Marcia has very kindly offered to host a

Christmas gathering at her home on

Monday night from 6.30pm.  The cost will

be $20 per head with BYO drinks. This will

be a lot of fun and a great way to finish the

year. Please bring your spouse or partner

and freshen your vocal cords under the

shower in the meantime.

On behalf of Chris and myself, I would like

to take this opportunity to wish a very

Merry Christmas to each of you and to

your families. May you all enjoy a happy

safe holiday period and prosperous New

Year.

President Tony
