This Week - Christmas Breakup at Werribee Football Club
 
 
We had a great night at Werribee Football Club for our end of year Christmas function.
 
Our MC Constantino Ballan led the night well, and kept us in order on the night.
 
Father 'Enzo' Christmas graced us with his presence, and presented KK gifts.
 
The Barking Dogs provided us with entertainment. Sadly we wont see the Dogs performing again in 2020, as the Conley's are off on the grey nomad trip around Australia. Well done dogs.
 
 
 
 
 
Board - 01.07.2020 to 30.06.2021
President elect Michael Redding presented his Board to members.
 
President - Michael Redding
Vice President - Colin Muir
Secretary - Kim Deneys
Treasurer - Wendy Roper
Past President - Brian Ahmed
Youth - Anthony Pante
Community - Kathryn Williams
International - Robert Fava
Membership - Joe Cumbo
Vocational - Jim Randall
President 2021-2022 - TBA
 
Michael advised members that he had spoken to a number of people regarding the President role for 2021-2022, but nobody has indicated an interest in the role. Unless a member shows an interest in the role, it is likely that one of the past presidents will have to do the role.
Speak to Michael if you want guidance about the role.

___________________________________________

Membership

It is becoming a real concern to Werribee Rotary, that we have not inducted a single new member for 3-4 years. Without new members our club is doomed.

Membership is not the responsibility of the Membership Committee. It is the responsibility of every member. 

At our meeting on 28.01.2020 we will be having committee meetings, and an open forum on membership. Put your thinking cap on, and come up with some ideas to address this issue.

For our members to consider over Christmas?

 
Compare the Werribee Rotary Club to the old “Blockbuster” video stores?
The business was very successful( employed over 80,000 people worldwide) but the introduction of “Netflix” , “Video on Demand” etc changed everything in the home movie business.
Blockbuster Management did not want to change and while Blockbuster could have taken over Netflix, Video Demand or both at the time they chose to ignore the competition and the rest is history.
The competition amongst volunteer organizations is no different, we have to look at what our competitors are doing and create the a different Werribee Rotar Club.
Once we have a club that meets the needs of a volunteer the membership will grow.
Easier said than done😊
