New member of the Rotary Family in Coffs Harbour
Paul_Thomas Clarke President of Coffs South and Louise have a wonderful new daughter. Born last night...... Early today last day of the year.
Two lovely photos that I know will bring back memories to all of us with Children.
We need to see the photos and messages in their Post Office to celebrate the event.
Will keep you up dated as details emerge from the proud dad.

Fwd: Some of the Gathering Celebrating the life of Rick Bowen-Thomas
Yesterday was a day of mixed emotions as we celebrated a Life of a Rotarian. Our Past Governor and current President of Gloucester Rick Bowen-Thomas was fare-welled.
The Rotarian Guard of Honour with representatives District wide was very much appreciated by Christine when I spoke to her later in the day. To see two lines of Rotarian's shoulder to shoulder extending from the church across the full width of the road showed the respect held for Rick.
The gatherings later were a midst of stories ... but very much looking forward.
This has not been my best week and as current Governor it has made me reflect on the work done by all of you ... our 9650 Rotarians.
You all contribute to your community ... that is why you were asked by someone to wear the small Gold badge. That is why you wear it ... with pride.
We are all different in our views ... our work emphases ... and our ability to donate time or money ... but we all share the one core value ... Service above Self.
Over the past few weeks I have racked up the k.m. and shared the angst of the grain farmers at harvest and the crop farmers ... both with different water needs. I have listened to those in retail and I too share their mixed prospects. And I have listened to those in the Public sector with various cutbacks. Rotarians it has not been an easy first half year.
But ... unbelievably despite this .... we are growing in member numbers in our District and are marginally ahead of our Foundation aim.
Why?
I believe it was demonstrated yesterday as we stood quietly shoulder to shoulder. To me it showed a willingness to care ... to be involved ..... to travel ..... to share the load.
More than anything else our Rotary needs you ..... and others like you.
The fabulous diversity that keeps us vibrant ..... the mix of age groups to ensure we pass the baton between generations.
RBT may have completed his time of service .... but for me ... it makes my time I spend with each of you more important.
I look forward to spending this next half year encouraging you to give 100% in the way you can and inviting someone else you know to share in our wonderful SERVICE CLUB ... Rotary.
I hope I can metaphorically present each of you with a "100% INVOLVEMENT" recognition at the conclusion of the year.
On behalf of all the Management Team ..... May Christmas be special and the New Year safe.

Bill Forrest 100% attendance
When you read Bills words. It is the100% enthusiasm that endears him to Rotary and Rotary to him.
If I could just have half the enthusiasm of Bill I would be a far better person.

Australian Rotary Health dinner.
This uniquely Australian and Rotary Health Research group do amazing work. All voluntary in Rotary administrators and District Governors attend AGM. This dinner we each pay to attend. Consider holding a special fundraiser to support a specific research project. Guest speakers are available across our District. Best use of resources is to get a group of Clubs to host a combined dinner and invite plenty of outside guests. We can nominate exactly which research project and institution gets the funding.

Fellow Rotarians this is what Rotary is all about. You may have seen Failyne on TV. Romac enabled the operation for her herniated brain.
Rotarians..... Only 5% of the funds raised go towards administration.... This is truly Rotary program.
Contact Vince Brooker in 9650 to assist with donation of funds.
Any questions give Vince or myself a call.

Coffs Harbour Rotary Club Bulletin for 21st November 2012
The Coffs Harbour meeting this week was at the Coffs Harbour Clay Target Shooting Club. More a Recreational than a Vocational night. It certainly attracted a good number of prospective new members. There were no formalities such as reports, Sergeants Session or Guest Speaker. In total there were about 30 attendees.
Shooting Club Members supervised and directed the activities for the night in an efficient and safe manner. All of the shooting part of the evening started early (no alcohol allowed before or during actual shooting) and was over in about an hour. Everybody participating had 5 skeet shots and 5 trap shots. I don't know the difference.
There were a few standout shooters but generally we were pretty lousy shots.
The final winners after a shoot-off were:
1st: Brian Franklin
2nd: Adam Sherwell
3rd: Greg Dunlop
Special prizes: Best Female: Lisa Smith
Wooden Spoon: Tim Alexander
There were a large number of furry spectators (about 200 kangaroos) who nonchalantly observed proceedings without a care in the world either from the noise or our presence.
A tremendous BBQ plus salad buffet was put on by the Target Club and their volunteers.
President Wayne thanked the organizers and the members who attended.
Best regards,
Grahame
