A simple and effective solution exists and yet people ignore the opportunity or worse still choose to not vaccinate. Obviously there a cases where vaccination is not recommended (in the case of transplant or other illnesses) but to choose not to protect your own children and thereby the rest of our community is in my mind selfish and arrogant. Frankly I think it is time more agencies and yes the government made it mandatory before acceptance into the education facilities of this country. 
This week is the second of our Barside meetings – the opportunity to spend time talking to your fellow Rotarian's and for the club to discuss projects past, present and upcoming without having to make other times in all our busy schedules. The Board meeting will follow at 7.30pm. As a reminder I invite all of you to attend at least one Board meeting in this year to find out how the club ‘ticks’.

I look forward to welcoming back Past District Governor Martin and Past President Denise after a sad and stressful time with Martins father passing away. Please accept my personal and the clubs condolences to you both and your family.

Yours in Rotary,

Judith
