Our guest at Tuesday's meeting was District Governor Michael Moore. Michael visited our club using Zoom video conferencing and gave a 20 minute presentation on the coming together of District 9700 and District 9710 . Both districts have a long history and at one time were one district. Michael displayed the regalia that both districts have used for years and the new colour that will be used for District 9705 governors. He was well prepared with slides about Wollundry and a thank you to those members in Wollundry who work at district positions. A video copy of Michael's presentation is available by clicking here or on Michaels photograph. |

Our guest speaker today was Graham Hornbook our Club's Charter President. Graham was the first speaker of our Past Presidents who will give talks throughout the year to remind us, and enlighten our newer members, of our interesting history.
The idea for these talks was put forward by PP David Benn and was enthusiastically received by our new President.

The 2019-2020 Presidents of all the Rotary clubs in Wagga, along with Assistant Governor Elain Almond, have joined together this year to form a cohesive group holding monthly meetings and establishing a variety of valuable community projects. |
 |
One such project is the Wagga Service Clubs website. The new website is dedicated to providing a centralised information hub for the various Wagga service clubs and the general public. It also assists with the problem clubs have in scheduling their club events so that they don’t conflict with other local clubs events. Each club enters their calendar events as soon as they are determined, and effectively “claiming the date”. The site not only provides the community with service clubs events calendars, but it compiles a listing of all the service clubs major fundraising events, meeting schedules and a carousel of photos of cities Rotary Club Presidents. In addition to the 7 Rotary/Rotaract clubs in Wagga, the site also included contact details for the local Apex and Lions clubs. |
