There is always a lot happening in and around our club and the clubrooms and the last few weeks have been hectic - but the next few weeks will be even busier. There are several bookings for events and functions, so a reminder for members to be on the lookout for any area that you may be able to assist with in regard to keeping the facility clean and tidy. At the recent board meeting, authorisation was given for crockery and cutlery stock to be replenished - unfortunately, the recent call out for 'returns' has not been successful. The vacuum cleaner will also be replaced - and a reminder that any future issues should be directed to the board to enable us to take advantage of warranty coverage, etc. The environment area of focus for Rotary International can easily be built into our club activities. Let's think about how we recycle, for instance. We can improve our efforts simply by paying attention to the use of our bins, keeping the glass bottles and jars out of the recycling bin and putting them aside to be delivered to the Glass Recycling Container (the closest in Eaglehawk is at Lake Neangar) would be a great way for our efforts to have an even greater impact. Let's make sure our plastic sauce bottles (and we have a lot of these) go into the recycling bin. The excessive heat in the kitchen during summer continues to be a concern, so consideration is being given to the relocation, into the kitchen, of the air conditioner that is currently located in the storeroom (formerly an office). Tablecloths (branded with the club logo) are on order. These will be a bonus for our public image when we are out and about at BBQ's and public events. Club members are encouraged to support our 60th Birthday lunch - this is an important milestone for the club - and the day is set to be a wonderful celebration and recognition of the contribution our club has made to the community over the last 60 years.
