Are you on duty?
It seems that some members are not checking the roster to see if they have a job at the next meeting!  No, you say?  If you are not present to complete your scheduled role, it causes havoc at the meeting.  Havoc, confusion, rushing around ... resulting in the substitute person no having time to do their homework.  Do you know that feeling?
 
Please check the roster at least a week before the next meeting, even two weeks or three weeks' prior.  If you then are unable to fulfill your duty, please organise a replacement, and email the name of the replacement to Ian Belcher and  Les Walsh so the roster can be updated and your replacement can be reminded in The Reel.
 
Your help would be appreciated!

Our Pink Shoelace Moments
At the District Changeover, Governor Wendy related a story of two boys and the days they started wearing a pink shoelace.  It was a true story and gave her the opportunity to paint the vision she has for our District 9600 clubs this year. 
 
She said:
We need to all be looking for those who are different, looking for those doing it tough and we need to decide how we, as active Rotarians in our communities and across the globe will take steps to show them we care, to show them that we are serious (albeit while we are in the midst of fun and fellowship) in our commitment to being the inspiration to improve their opportunities in life.  Maybe we walk quietly beside them, maybe we give them the resources to alter their situation or maybe we actively roll up our sleeves and participate.
Whenever we do, as individual Rotarians or as a club we need to remind ourselves that this is our PINK SHOELACE MOMENT and before it slips away we need to capture an image.
At our District Conference we’ll all have the chance to see how other Rotarians in District 9600 were the Inspiration to a life of change………
 
Every one step can be an inspiration - looking at them together they have the capacity to let us see how transformational Rotary truly is !!!!!!!!!!!!
