QUOTE OF THE MONTH
CRAWFORD C MCCULLOUGH–RI PRESIDENT 1921-1922
Rotary Club of Fort William, Ontario, Canada
“Difference in language, history, customs, and environment influences
the outward expression of Rotary, but the basic principles upon which it is
founded and the objectives towards which it strives remain always the
same in all lands and among all peoples.”
— The Rotarian , October 1926
PARRAMATTA CITY TRIVIA NIGHT
Great News! We are having a TRIVIA NIGHT.
Friday 4th November 2011 at Parramatta Workers Club, 163-165 George Street, Parramatta at

all members are asked to bring along family, friends and business colleagues and make up a table of 10
people.
I have booked for 20 tables and the club can hold a maximum of 22 tables. The club has waived the
room hire for the night – but we need to get 200 people there. There will be bar service and you can eat
first in the restaurant.
There will be prizes, silent auctions and raffles – but more importantly, lots of fun!!!
If anyone in the Rotary club is a member of Blacktown Workers or Parramatta Workers could you
please let me know? We need a badge number to confirm the booking.
Thanks
Joy
