LAST WEEK’S MEETING
49 Members and guests attended the 52nd changeover dinner at Flaxton Gardens on Wednesday 29th June President Rick presented Charlotte Golding with a Paul Harris Fellowship for the work she carried out during the year in connection with literacy.
President Rick presented his Annual Report July 2010 – June 2011 in both written form and photographic form and thanked everyone for supporting him during the year. He outlined the progress made towards the implementation of the Future Vision Plan
PDG Mike Gregory inducted incoming president Mike Keane and Mike spoke about the year ahead and the changes which were necessary to ensure the future of Rotary. He explained why the Rotary organization as a whole needs to examine how they operate so as to encourage additional members as well as retaining existing members in the future. President Mike stated that the present RI membership was 1.2 Million which is exactly the same number as it was 7 years ago. This is despite having inducted 1.2 Million new members during that period. Another concern pointed out by President Mike is the current age profile of Rotary members in Australia. 48% of our members are over 60 years of age while another 48% are in the 40 – 59 year age group. This leaves only 4% in the under 40 age group. 30% of members are retired and only 17% of the total members are female.
Jim Atkinson was invited to introduce the new RI theme for 2011/2012, which is “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity”. He then changed the theme banner.
President Mike then introduced his new board for 2011 – 2012 as follows:-
VICE PRESIDENT – Mike Gregory
SECRETARY – Karen Binstead
TREASURER – Jeff Cornfoot
DIRECTOR COMMUNITY SERVICE – Angela Griffin
DIRECTOR CLUB SERVICE – Brian King
DIRECTOR VOCATIONAL – David Edmonds
DIRECTOR INTERNATIONAL - Lynda Radcliffe

TRIVIA
An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation. As he was about to get the anaesthetic, he asked to speak to his son. "Yes Dad, what is it?"
"Don't be nervous, son; do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well, if something happens to me ...
your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife....".
