Guest Speaker - President Paul



Meeting 790 1 May 14






























Welcome:















Apologies:











BBQ CHAMPIONS!!













Pres Paul Roger welcomed everyone to meeting 790. There were no
visitors tonight except the lovely supporter, Vera.

Pres Paul invited Glenda Wahlert to recite the Charge to Australia and
Bruce gave the toast to Rotary International. Bruce toasted Rotary
International and in particular, the Rotary Club of Chico in California
(maybe that is where they invented chico rolls??) This club had an
amazing number of members but he was too quick for me and I didnt
get it down. Ask Bruce for the details.






Apologies from Lizzie, Mary-Rose, Anne D., Cathy H., David B. Of course, David
Stevens continues to sun himself somewhere in Europe while on leave. Been a
while since we had a postcard, David!






NO GUEST SPEAKER TONIGHT
No this looks more like a Jerra BBQ!

Pres Paul and Sue tried to attend the District lunch function on Saturday 19

4. Discussion on a new club shirt was led by Pres. Paul who had done his homework at
Working Gear in Fyshwick. Pictures of styles were circulated and discussed and
those present decided on the Nitro polo shirt and the Core jacket. Navy and yellow.
Meeting voted on this. Pres. Paul indicated that the first shirt would be free to
members due to the large amounts of money sitting in the Admin account from
market tables sales. That got a cheer!

Chris told two short jokes that only just passed muster!

Joker gave $39 to add to the kitty. It lives another day!

OUR HISTORY

In 1998 the Rotary Clubs of Queanbeyan and Queanbeyan West Rotary decided
to sponsor a new Rotary Club based in Jerrabomberra. Bill Lilley, John Snedden and Peter
Jarvis from Queanbeyan West took on the joint roll of mentor (Peter Jarvis went on to
become our Charter President).

Advertising for potential members began in March 1998. After a successful
campaign, the Club was chartered on 18 November 1998 with 20 members. We are an
unusual club as we have a very high proportion of female Members.

Initial meetings were held at the Jerrabomberra General Storethe venue was very
good until we grew in numbers. We then moved to the Jerrabomberra Community Centre
for a few years. We now meet at the Jerrabomberra Public School Staff Room, on
Thursdays (6.15 for 6.30 pm). As at 26 Jan 2014 the Club has 26 members 11 female and 15
male. Included in this are seven married couples. We also have 4 supporters of the Rotary
Club.

(Charter) President Peter Jarvis ran competitions to select a name for our Club
bulletin and a design for the Club banner. There were some good and (very) bad
suggestions. Pam Spencer suggested the winning bulletin name; Jerraganda. The banner
design by David Stevens was eventually selected. The design incorporates a goose and
the windmill associated with the original entrance to the estate.

Lifes a beach!!
