Business Meeting and Mary Fraser Induction

President Lawrie was in the chair for last week's business meeting. In addition to Mary Fraser, shortly to be inducted into membership, Lawrie also welcomed visiting Rotarian Ats Herzog, from the Rotary Club of Heilbronn  Unterland in District 1830, Germany, a guest of Glen Montgomery. Ats handed over a Banner from his Club which is just north of Stuttgart.

Lawrie then asked Gillian Weighton to propose Mary Fraser to the Club, which was followed by the formal induction. Mary thanked the members for their welcome and looked forward to playing an active part in the Club.

Rod Jones reported on a very successful meeting with head teachers and senior staff from most of the local schools. It is hoped this will lead on to a much closer liason with the schools to the benefit of the young people.

George Morrison gave an update on the ticket sales for the Duck Race on 28 May and Ed Campbell reminded members of the Coffee Morning, for which home baking was required.

Bill Sharpe reported on a good level of interest for the Judy Murray Tennis Cup to be held on Sunday 12 June at Dunblane Sports Club.

Arrangements for a stall at the forthcoming Armed forces Day on 18 June were progressing and Colin Strachan would shortly be looking for volunteers.

Finally, to round off, Jim Gardner told members the Am-Am on 28 June was fully subscribed with 64 teams entered. He also asked for raffle prizes and support for the social evening on the 29 June at the Golf Club.

Lawrie closed the meeting by encouraging members to lend their full support to the club over a very busy spell in the next few weeks.
