Rotary Club of Knights Pendragon Annual General Meeting

The AGM is for the happenings of last Rotary Year,....1st July 2023 to the 30th June 2024.

A lot of time will be saved if I receive written reports from the Board members so that I can circulate them prior to the meeting and then there will only be questions.

I will circulate the minutes for last year's AGM with the agenda.

Last Week

It was a Project Meeting and much time was spent discussing the crowded agenda of functions that we have been invited to...see the side bar!

The Pizza Day at Cressett was a big success though many of us were unable to attend as it was a Friday morning.

The worrying thing is the Christmas Function on the 7th December.  This is a most important function for various reasons and the  guests we have invited.  So far only 11 Rotarians and partners are going and the expectations are that we would have close to 30.  This is particularly worrying as Begravia Bowls Club cancelled a booking on our behalf and if we are forced to cancel ourselves we will have to pay for more than the venue, I am sure.

Next Week

It's just an informal lunch at The Grand Slam Diner in Edenvale.  Just turn up anytime from 12:30 onwards and socialise.

International - Guatemala

The Rotary Club of Guatemala La Reforma’s Upcycling Art Festival featured whimsical sculptures and paintings created with cast-off materials such as paper and cardboard, wood scraps, glass, plastics, metal, rubber, and electronic waste. Like many countries, Guatemala struggles with solid waste
management, notes Esther Brol, a past club president who pioneered the event in 2023. “Pushing artists out of their comfort zone by challenging them to create works of art from waste has generated wonderful results,” including raising funds for club projects and The Rotary Foundation, she says. The club partnered with the Rotaract Club of Guatemala La Reforma and the Rotary Club of Los Altos Quetzaltenango to organize the three-week exposition and sale that concluded 5 June.
