Presidents’ Meeting 15 August
Friday 15
th we had our August Presidents meeting. The focus for the night was on “Make Dreams Real” International projects and we thank Sue O’Neil and Nuli Leomah for their very interesting presentations. I do hope that clubs that are still looking for some International projects were inspired by these presentations and I am pleased to hear that some have already in contact with Sue or Nuli.

DG Club Visits
I have now completed 20 Club visits. This last week I was at Waitara, Turramurra and Castle Hill. Thank you to all these clubs I have visited for the warm and friendly welcome you have given Sandra and I and I’ve been most impressed with the numerous high quality projects all the clubs are undertaking this year. Thank you too, for all the clubs who have supported Sandra’s East Timor projects so generously.

Directories and Business Cards
I hope you received your new directory this week. All Clubs were distributed with enough directories for every member in the District. There is a lot of additional information in this year’s directory so please use it as your reference for all things Rotary in this district and beyond and remember - if it is not in directory- it’s most likely on the website!
Business cards were also being distributed this week.
PPMonica Hart is distributing all the cards on the Central Coast and Pres. Bruce Walker is distributing all the Sydney ones. There will be another series available soon, please watch the website for these.
