Stuart introduced Deborah -
well known Marriage Celebrant and two time Past President of our Club PPx2
Deborah Taylor VP PP PP PHF speaking on Rotary acronyms
 
And also a bit of Rotary etiquette with DGs PDGs, etc are introduced before any politicians in the room
 
Deborah‘s hand out on Youth Programs is the first baby steps of proficiency in Rotary acronyms and yes, Dave you will be tested - I see at the bottom of the image that it is a confidential Rotary document  - we don’t want the general public finding out our secret acronyms
 
Bob asked about MUNA which is the Model United Nations Assembly, and what about Genta’s membership of the IFFR are and of course there’s the IFGR
 
And of course Inner Wheel, for which Roger correctly noted that acronyms were deemed redundant for only two letters, and that TLAs and FLAs formed more secure codes - that’s  Three Letter Acronyms, Four Letter Acronyms and even Five Letter Acronyms
 
Inner Wheels birthing kits and their use in Papua New Guinea were discussed
 
Shelter boxes cost $1000 each
 
Stewart thank Deborah for the talk
VBH – very big heart
