Volume 17 No 13 Fellowship - The Kitchen Meeting 762 – 26 Sep 13

I Really Am Ba'ack….

So our last meeting was another Fellowship Meeting at the Kitchen and I was yet again an apology.

It certainly has taken me some time to get back on my feet, but hopefully this is it! I would have

sent the Jerraganda out earlier, but we really do have some tardy people in our Club. This edition

will also include some photos of the Ball and hopefully I can get some anecdotes from some of the

party goers in the coming week, however some photos tell their own story!!!

The Club had its Fellowship meeting at The Kitchen. I understand the night went well, however I

do know there was the Book launch which conflicted with the night.

Pres Paul sent his report for meeting number 762 via email, which I will reproduce for the Pres

each Fellowship meeting, because we have the bestest Club President in the District, and maybe

Australia, or even the world!!! (was that nice Mr Pres?)

Hi all,

I hope everyone who attended the social meeting at the Jerra Kitchen had an enjoyable

evening. Sue and I, together with the Spencers, Jarvis’s and Chris Hunter enjoyed attending the

launch of Nichole Overall’s book ‘ City of Champions’, and rubbing shoulders with many of

Queanbeyan’s celebrities, including Mark Webber and Jackie Stuart. The book is beautiful, and I

encourage those of you who have not yet taken steps to acquire one, to do so.

As a written President’s report for the week, I can report that my time has been pretty much

divided between the final arrangements for the Anniversary Ball and the Car Raffle.

The Ball is on track for a great night with over 260 people attending, which includes all clubmembers who are not interstate or overseas. A great turn out guys – well done. We will be doing

Hall decorating on Friday 27th from 10.30 am if anyone is free and wishes to drop buy and help. Also

a follow up last touches will occur on Saturday morning from 10am. Then the big night



commences from 7pm for guests. Bring along some spare money or your credit cards as there are

some pretty good silent auction items that may attract you to make a bid and get a bargain.

With the Raffle, the combined efforts of members to sell tickets at the Riverside Plaza, the Jerra

Shops and the EPIC markets saw us have a very good Saturday of sales with another $1300 in

ticket sales coming in. Thank you also to members who individually sold tickets. The final sales

will be on the night of the Ball and by the end of the night someone will be the lucky owner of a

new car, and I will be very happy to never see another raffle.

Quick reminder to the Farmers Market people on Saturday (check to see if you’re on) could you

touch base with me tomorrow to grab a book of raffle tickets, just in case we have any last minute

interest at the markets.

Anyone who has not returned their raffle ticket stubs and money, please make sure you do so by

Saturday.

Cheers

Paul

Apologies:

Apart from yours truly, who knows? Our attendance officer is extremely quiet.

Attendance:

Attendance was in David Steven's words… actually there were no words….

Farmers Market Corner:

From the Pen of Jan Pettigrew…

It was an enjoyable morning as usual. Kerry managed all the parking which was chaotic as no provision had been madeto cover the closed off disabled parking area. The area is expected to be closed for the next 2 weeks. I was told byTamara that she will get temporary signs put up in the first 2 normal parking bays for the next two weeks. The rest of the morning passes uneventfully.The figures are: Tables $80, Water $26, Bags $122FYI Anne: There are only 2 half boxes of bags left ( I think that was the info from Kerry who checked for me)Cheers,

Thanks Jan ….

Jan, the serial

marketeer!



What an absolutely fantastic night. I am going to use my power as the Jerraganda author to pay

homage to our Club committee members for an extremely well run night. The decorations wereabsolutely spectacular, Sue Jarvis had a plan in mind and it came to fruition beautifully. The silent

auction was set up and organised by a very professional Chris Hunter and ran like clockwork. The

worker bees got on with the job of being worker bees and did it exceptionally well. In the words of

Jan Pettigrew, ‘I was told what to do and got on and did it ’!! And let’s not forget Sue Roger, who by

association with the club Pres, does lots more than I think even she realises.

And of course there is Pres Paul Roger, who without his professionalism and stoic attitude, I have

been told on more than one occasion, the night would not have gone ahead. Outstanding effort,

Pres, take a bow…..

And now for some of the photo highlights….

Wow Bruce, who is that Are you poking your tongue Well hello strangers!

OUR HISTORY

In 1998 the Rotary Clubs of Queanbeyan and Queanbeyan West Rotary decided to sponsor a new Rotary Club

based in Jerrabomberra. Bill Lilley, John Snedden and Peter Jarvis from Queanbeyan West took on the joint roll of

mentor (Peter Jarvis went on to become our Charter President).

Advertising for potential members began in March 1998. After a successful campaign, the Club was chartered on

18 November 1998 with 20 members. We are an unusual club as we have a very high proportion of female Members.

Initial meetings were held at the Jerrabomberra General Store—the venue was very good until we grew in

numbers. We then moved to the Jerrabomberra Community Centre for a few years. We now meet at the

Jerrabomberra Public School Staff Room, on Thursdays (6.15 for 6.30 pm). As at 11 Jun 2013 the Club has 27 members —

11 female and 16 male. Included in this are seven married couples. We also have 4 supporters of the Rotary Club.

(Charter) President Peter Jarvis ran competitions to select a name for our Club bulletin and a design for the

Club banner. There were some good and (very) bad suggestions. Pam Spencer suggested the winning bulletin name;

Jerraganda. The banner design by David Stevens was eventually selected. The design incorporates a goose and the

windmill associated with the original entrance to the estate.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When

they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're

going to feel all day.
