Strategic Planning
Workshop
Saturday 18th April saw the Rotary Club
of Freshwater Bay run it’s inaugural
Strategic Planning Workshop at
LotteryWest House in Osborne Park.
Many thanks to Jan Stewart for allowing
us the hospitality of LotteryWest House,
Judith Darlington and Di Collins for
providing the food and to Rotarian Liz
Pattinson for facilitating the Workshop.
Also thanks to AG Philip Skelton for
assisting with the session.
The Strategic Planning Workshop was a
positive experience and it was great to see
that we all share the same ideals for the
Vision for our Club: service to the local
and international community, to be

Simone Carot Collins, Marcos Carot Collins , Bryant Stokes, Alistair Tulloch so all members can be involved, to be
consistent in how we deal with issues and
to be an inspiring Club and therefore
attract people who can make a difference.
It was identified that communication
within the Club was an issue that needed
to be addressed. It was agreed that The
Bulletin will be the primary cannel of
communication for the Club. It was also
agreed that the Minutes of the Board
Meetings would be sent electronically
with The Bulletin after each Board
Meeting, including a Financial Report.
The club will be holding plenary sessions
every 8 weeks for the next 6 months,
which are scheduled to run for 2 hours on
a Saturday morning. The first of these will

RI President’s
Theme for 2009-10
The 2009-10 RI theme acknowledges
the important role individual Rotary
clubs will play in shaping the future
of Rotary.

RI President-elect John Kenny
unveiled the theme, The Future of
Rotary Is in Your Hands, on Monday
during the opening plenary session of
the International Assembly, an annual
training event in San Diego,
California, USA, for incoming district
governors.

"The future of Rotary will not be
shaped at RI headquarters -- it will be
shaped in each and every Rotary
club," Kenny said, "because it is for
each of us -- as Rotarians -- to do what
is necessary to keep Rotary strong."

Kenny acknowledged the foundation
established by past Rotary leaders
