President Katrina welcomed everyone to the meeting and, in her Interesting Rotary Information, highlighted the second half of the letter from R.I. President Holger Knaack, in which he talked about the future.
The type of partnership we have formed to make such progress against polio provides a blueprint for future Rotary projects. In fact, such partnerships have already been formed. Next month, the Trustees hope to select the first ever Programs of Scale grant award. This is a grant of up to $ 2 million for a three to five-year project that aligns with one of our causes. It really invites Rotary members to think big about high-impact service projects, and find partners to who are willing to invest money and resources to implement measurable and sustainable solutions.
To support all this transformative work, you can end Foundation Month on a charitable note by participating in Giving Tuesday on 3 December. Rotary will be joining thousands of other organizations worldwide for a global day of giving, and it is a prime opportunity to advance our mission by making a contribution to the Annual Fund. It is now easier than ever to give to the Foundation online.
Remember to use your District Designated Funds for a cause you are passionate about, whether that is PolioPlus, the Disaster Response Fund, the Rotary Peace Centres, or something in your community that could benefit from the support of a district or global grant.
So as we enter the second half of the Rotary year, please keep up your efforts to eradicate polio, tell our story, and increase our impact. With your actions, Rotary Opens Opportunities.
Yours in Rotary,
Holger Knaack
President, Rotary International 2020-2
Willie Talbot reported that the Bonus Ball had been a roll-over.
Secretary Ian gave formal notice of the SGM which will take place on Thursday 10th December.
The members were then split up into three ‘rooms’ for social chat, rotating, randomly, every ten minutes. President Katrina thanked Callan Dick for his expertise in organising this.

Last Christmas, instead of members sending cards to each other, everyone signed one card and donated the money they would have spent on cards to Rotary. Members were asked to think about what we would do this year.
