Club Meeting — Inductions
Tue, Nov 21st 2017 at 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
There was no speaker, but two new members, Henri van der Stighelen and Reay Mackay, were inducted.
President Gordon Burgess welcomed twelve other members, and inducted Henri van der Stighelen and Reay Mackay into membership of the club. He presented them with rotary badges and the New Members Welcome Pack.
Reay was formerly a member of the Barrhead club, from June 5 2979 for ten years, and he showed members the welcome booklet of that time and a picture of the Barrhead club members in 1993. He expressed the hope that a way could be found to bring younger members into rotary.
The president reported on the very successful wine tasting held in the Commodore Hotel on Friday evening in aid of the local branch of the Alzheimers Assocation. The total raised will not be known until the bills are received from the hotel and from Ellie's Cellar who provided the wines.
Adam Muggoch said that the 1917 Young Musician Competition would be held at Lomond School on Wednesday November 29 at 7pm. Eight places have been reserved for rotarians, and anyone interested in attending should contact him.
The weekly raffle for a whisky miniature was won by senior vice-president Mike Jane.
