Presidents Report

Two weeks ago Bill and I saw the movie Sunshine on Leith at Limelight Cinemas, Tuggeranong organised by Rotary
Club of Woden Daybreak as their MS Australia Fund Raiser 2014 it was a wonderful movie and was well attended.

Last week James Kenny, who attended RYPEN in May 2013, spoke to the Club about his positive experiences of
RYPEN and what he has done since well done James. We have never had anyone come back from RYPEN that has
not had a positive experience for themselves from RYPEN!

Natalie took four of the QHS Interactors to Sydney for the Rotary International Conference and I will pick them up from
Sydney at 6.15pm on Wednesday to return them to home. What an experience for them. I am sure Natalie had a
fantastic weekend at Conference as well.

This week is a Vocational Visit to Tobin Brothers/White Lady Funerals - Carol Flavel (Area Manager) will give us a tour of their
office at 75 Canberra Avenue, Kingston meet there at 6.15pm please.

Our Changeover is on Wednesday 25 June please let me know if you are attending.
