- invited Rtn. Chris to speak:

Rtn. Chris thanked the club for putting his name forward as Club Treasurer next year. Whilst he was more than honored, he felt that as he was "the new kid on the block" having less than one year of being a Rotarian under his belt. He felt that as we have 40 + members, there really should have been some more people putting their names forward to run for the Board.

- reminded members there would NOT be any meetings on 16, 23 and 30 December. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, 6 January 2010 which will be a CLUB ASSEMBLY.

* Rtn. Marcantonio announced to the members that he had brought some wonderful Christmas gifts from the Bali Teak Farm (BTF) to the meeting. He also said that he would be donating 15% of the sales to the RCBS. For more information about Rtn. Marcantonio's ENVIRONMENTAL work, please visit his website at: http://www.baliteakfarms.com/

* Rtn. Peter L. asked that the following Email he received from Rtn. Mireille Pernot of the RC of Nice, France be shared with the members.  Rtn. Peter is exploring the IDEA of organizing a Sister Club with them in the near future.

15 September 2009

Cher Monsieur,
Sorry to answer you late, but I have had a lot of work. Here are our future plans.

October 18: We organized a garage sale, getting money from lending the spaces for exhibitors, selling drinks, coffee and food. The profit is going to our charities

November 18: We organize a cheese-party. Just eating cheese (of course you have to like it), we are around one hundred, and the money goes to two handicapped children and this year we added some money for the social center of the little city which welcomes us for this meal. We have done this for 18 years already.

November 18: All the members go to a Disney movie and the money goes to a Fund for brain operations.

November 29: We have a gathering in the cathedral of Nice, watch photos about water and listen to performance by a clarinet player. The profits of this event will go to a FUND named "WATER WITHOUT FRONTIER" (which was created by Rotary). The funds will be used to dig a well in Africa.

In December, we collect toys (new or good secondhand ones) which we shall give to children of poor families and shall participate to the afternoon snack offered to them.

During the past several years, we also sell roses to buy guide-dogs for blind people . So far, we have purchased 14 of them.

So I think with this information, you will be able to give a report to your members about your visit to the RC of Nice, France.

Sentiments les meilleurs.
Mireille PERNOT

Secrétaire administrative
