The Rotary Horizons is HERE An Introductory word from our new District Governor, Peter Schaefer:
Hello and welcome to the first edition of “Rotary Horizons”, a new name for an old and trusted communications tool. A vibrant District and vibrant Clubs rely upon effective communications. May I take this opportunity to remind our readers that this publication is a two-way communications tool. I encourage you to use it to make others aware of your activities and projects that your Club does. It’s an opportunity to promote your coming events – who knows, there’s a chance that others might share their resources to “up - size” your event or simply come along to help make it a success.
Each Club will receive three spiral bound District Resources & Reference Guidebook, the “Vade Mecum”. Where other copies are required they can be printed from the District website www.rotary9500.org on the Home tab, either in entirety or just the relevant section/s required or download the PDF to your Phone/iPad/Desktop.
Keep an eye out early next month for the first edition of “The DiGest” – News from the District Governor.
That’s all for now, happy reading. PeterS

Change of Meeting Dates Rotary Club of Charles Sturt Grange Effective immediately our future meetings are scheduled for the FIRST AND THIRD MONDAY OF EACH MONTH.
On those few months in a year having five Mondays the fifth Monday each month is to be designated as a social event whereby we may have a picnic/barbecue, ten pin bowling, a movie viewing (purely social- not as a fundraiser), a visit to a neighbouring Rotary club or any one of many other possibilities brought forward by our members or their families. These social events could be on that Monday evening or the adjacent weekend, daytime or evening and including partners and families where appropriate.
All other aspects of our meetings, such as venue, starting time, etc., remain unchanged.

District Governor Peter Schaefer and his wife Jenny Delima
This week’s Comments; Five great confusions still unresolved 😄😄😄😄 1. At a movie theatre, which arm rest is yours? 2. In the word scent, is "S" silent or "C"? 3. If people evolve from monkeys, why are monkeys still around? 4. Why is there a 'D' in fridge, but not in refrigerator? 5. Who knew what time it was when the first clock was made?
- If a Vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a Humanitarian eat?
Reminder that this publication requires information from you – please send me your information about
