Welcome:
Pres Paul welcomed everyone to meeting 783 and asked Mez Mulvaney to read the Charge to Australia and invited Liz Mulvaney to toast Rotary International and the Rotary Club of Hannans in Kalgoorlie, which in the past was an all-male Club but has since moved into the 21st century!! Pres Paul welcomed our Vera to this evenings meeting and thanked Alex for sitting closer to the Pres so he doesnt feel so lonely.
Pres Paul also welcomed our Club guest. Steve Stavros, who is a very good friend of Sue Jarvis and a great sponsor of the Club and our activities. Steve has also sponsored numerous raffles by donating prizes and his generosity extends to other clubs as well. Steve will talk to us about new initiatives to engage the whole community in an attempt to revive interest in Queanbeyan. He is also hoping to involve Jerrabomberra.
Apologies:
Details for this evenings meeting: David Bailey, Lynne and Kerry McPherson, and Anton Pemmer.
Pres Paul gave our guest the option of speaking before or after dinner. Steve felt that a few wines and a feed would make for a more conducive audience, so on with Rotary business first.
Jerraganda business:
From the Desk of the President:
Pres Paul advised that he did not have much to report, which was met with groans and moans from his adoring Club members. The Board met for a record breaking meeting which finished within 23 mins. Pres Paul did advise that Terry wasn't there and he was in Sydney, which obviously accounted for a lot! Pres Paul also advised that as he is working away from home at the moment and not getting involved in Rotary as much. QBN West Rotary Club celebrated their 40
th
anniversary and Peter Jarvis, originally a member of their Club before he had a hand in
creating our Club and Sue represented Pres Paul. This weekend Pres Paul is joining with the Tumut Rotary Club as part of a visioning session.
Reports: Secretary
NTR. Other than the fact that he made it to Vietnam and is well and truly into selfies!
Reports: Treasurer
NTR.
Reports: Community:
Sue Jarvis needed to report that her 2IC, Jan, is doing most of the work. There are two large BBQ's coming up, in particular the South Care Open Day, which will need all hands on deck. Jan is also trying to get on the Bunnings BBQ List with little success at this stage. Remember, we also have the Anzac Day BBQ coming up as well.
Reports: International

General Business:
Markets: Very successful, almost sold out of bags. QBN West 40th Anniversary: Peter Jarvis advised that he and Sue went along to the event. The Club sent around photos and unfortunately, Peter didnt recognise anyone in any of them. Kevin Granger spoke of introducing two new clubs, Jerra and Bungendore. Sue Jarvis raised her concern about a couple of issues: Market Access: There was conflicting information regards allowing customers to drive into the markets to pick up large items. Sue checked with Tamara, and they are able to park in front of the toilets to collect larger items. Pet Access: Dogs are allowed through the gate but not into the markets. Owners need to ensure they tether their pets behind the ATMs. RYLA Talk: Jon Wells advised that Tsmara Penda has resigned from the Bendigo bank and will be moving to SA. As Tsmara was unwell when Amy came to talk to the Club, she would like to come and talk about her experience prior to leaving. Mega Swim: Unfortunately, this year the Mega Swim which will be conducted over the weekend, 3 - 4 May, clashes with District Assembly to be held in Bega. The Mega Swim organising committee comprises of Paul Robey, Bruce Miller and Peter Jarvis. Pres Paul advised that he will be attending the Mega Swim, but voiced his concern that it also clashes with Whiskey Tasting Extravaganza in Canberra on 3 May; between 5pm - 8pm. I think we can work with that Pres Paul!
Market Mistress:
Our Market Mistress was away this week, but Pres Paul felt that there was a pretty good chance she will have emailed herself to remind both herself and David that they are on the markets and if not, Sue Roger, who filled in for Liz at the last minute, will make sure and remind them to take bags.

Attendance:
Our fill in Attendance Officer is a very quick learner. Bruce advised that attendance tonight was 73.9% but if you read it in a mirror, it is 93.7, port and baileys are a sure thing
And finally, the Markets Mistress would appreciate any marketeer who brings home fresh figs Thankyou, Anne Davis, an absolutely sterling job!!!

OUR HISTORY
In 1998 the Rotary Clubs of Queanbeyan and Queanbeyan West Rotary decided to sponsor a new Rotary Club based in Jerrabomberra. Bill Lilley, John Snedden and Peter Jarvis from Queanbeyan West took on the joint roll of mentor (Peter Jarvis went on to become our Charter President). Advertising for potential members began in March 1998. After a successful campaign, the Club was chartered on 18 November 1998 with 20 members. We are an unusual club as we have a very high proportion of female Members. Initial meetings were held at the Jerrabomberra General Storethe venue was very good until we grew in numbers. We then moved to the Jerrabomberra Community Centre for a few years. We now meet at the Jerrabomberra Public School Staff Room, on Thursdays (6.15 for 6.30 pm). As at 26 Jan 2014 the Club has 26 members 11 female and 15 male. Included in this are seven married couples. We also have 4 supporters of the Rotary Club. (Charter) President Peter Jarvis ran competitions to select a name for our Club bulletin and a design for the Club banner. There were some good and (very) bad suggestions. Pam Spencer suggested the winning bulletin name; Jerraganda. The banner design by David Stevens was eventually selected. The design incorporates a goose and the windmill associated with the original entrance to the estate.
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
