Thankyou to our members for the support they showed DG Phil and Judy on Wednesday night, when they "visited" from Swan Hill (only 4 members missing in action).

Phil, did what a DG has to do to promote everything Rotary. In a nutshell he is all about the health of the clubs and their members in these difficult times. Something that I keep pushing. 

Phil was put on the back foot right from square one. Graeme and Val showed us all how to dress for the DG's visit. I’m sure Phil said that was worth a bottle of red, payable to the President who will pass it on/not!

DG Phil’s Focus for this Year

• Develop a relationship with another Club in the District, outside of our designated group; 
• Invite the sister Club to join a meeting by Zoom - Arrange a weekend visit;
• Mutually support each other through functions, activities and joint projects. 
• Financially support the Rotary Foundation through Club and personal giving. Current levels of contributions are severely impacting future District Grant and Scholarship funding. 
• Focus on Member Welfare and Friendship—helping ourselves (each other) before we focus on others; 
• Next focus is Our Communities—reach out to find what’s needed; 
• Take the opportunity to reset your Club goals—involve all members; 
• Remember the “Big R” of Rotary by partnering with other clubs—locally and across the District. Together we can do more. 

I’d have to say from the feedback I had Judy stole the show (sorry Phil) with her presentation. I have listed some information below. I have had some very positive feedback from members.
