Club Assembly
3 Minute Speaker- David Anderson, reporting on the Global Support Seminar he attended in Chicago, a chilly –2.5 deg C, with snow on the ground! This was conducted by Rotary Coordinators, who look after Clubs and Members, for incoming Rotary Public Image Coordinators and Rotary Foundation Coordinators for their 3 year term of office. 38 members attended. This seminar highlighted for David the value of friendships made with fellow Rotarians.
 
Chairperson Penny conducted Club Assembly, calling for Directors reports.

Club Service—Gary Cocks
To assist with parking at the Yea Races last Sunday we only had 4 members on site, plus Kayla (who did a fantastic job). To do the job properly we need 10 members. If this is not possible, we need to rethink our commitment to the Race Club for 2025 season.
Community Service—Les Hall/Terry Hubbard
We have a roster circulating tonight for Yea Football/Netball Club gate. This is a 9 week commitment by our club, to support the YFNC, who in turn assist YRC with manpower to set up and dismantle and store the frames for our Art Show.
Thanks to Darry, Glenn and Al Tait for their assistance with the Handsaker wedding breakfast at the Butter Factory last Sunday.
RSL Hall—a footpath is planned from the western carpark to front door. This should be a 1 day event in the last week of March. Will involve levelling and placement of pavers.

It is exciting that an English Corner is being developed at the Chaing Rai Pra-chanukyaw 62 school. This is a boarding school for disadvantaged and orphaned stu-dents. Books, games and furniture are being purchased and it won’t be long before it is a fully operational corner!
A Thai night is being planned for 16th May, which will be an evening of fashion, food, fun and fundraising!
