70th Rotary Club of Matamata President Michelle ,introduced to address club members by Sergeant Glenda. But after sergeant Glenda used her powers of rank, to bring a very happy bunch of members enjoying their fellow peers company to order. Michelle address started with, What is Rotary? Highlighted Rotary Fellowship with a video to enlighten members of this unique Rotary programme, which can facilitate Rotarians from all over the world with a common interest, so to share in that particular interest. Michelle pointed out the Rotary International web site, with links for more information. Now only the graphics to be applied to the Rotary Club of Matamata financially supported vehicle for Starfish. Also that if members are available for this Saturdays Starfish Open Day and Think Pink Event, their help on the day would be most appreciated. Michelle was pleased to announce honorary members of Rotary Club of Matamata: Jan Barnes, Lindsay Tisch, Alan Munro, Head Girl-Head Boy Matamata College, Lisette Hulme, Jo McNaughton and Charmaine Donaldson.

Positive Rotary Moment (PRM) ........Fred Barrett
It is your responsibility to arrange cover for your duty if not attending this meeting
Don Stanley.. presenting his PRM
The Positive Rotary Moment has become a popular meeting agenda item , Previous PRM by fellow members and the latest PRM by Don S. are a privilege to hear. Don a Rotarian since 1969, honestly stated every year has had a PRM for him. Stand out moments for him has to be Sept 11 Apple pie Night and the Swimathon. With that one, Rotary Club of Matamata raised the most money of any Rotary Club in the world. But expects Concert By the lake to become a PRM aswell.

It came down to a tie break question for his team, to win a very well organised quiz night.
Concert by the Lake team, putting in the 'hard yards',
prioritising all the issues that need resolution. It is 'tough at the top', such leadership will certainly result in another successful event.
