What's When and Where?

Defying The Drift
Stan Deans reminded us that The Defying the Drift program will be held at the end of September this year.
It is a Sunday to Wednesday residential program this year at Horsham.
It aims to keep young people in rural communities by demonstrating the employment opportunities in their home area.
Stan Deans reminded us that we seek Year 10 & 11 students to attend the course and inspire them to take a career in agriculture, horticulture or animal husbandry.
Think about the growers.
Tree Planting Day
Peter Funston advise that we are tree planting again this year and the date is 29 July, likely at the same location as next year.
Peter will provide more details.
Youth Exchange
Anyone can host provided they have a Working with Children check and submit to a home inspection. See Kris Adam if you would like to host.
Our District is highly regarded internationally for its management of youth exchange.
Rotaract Club of Barwon Change Over
An invitation has been received from the Barwon Rotaract Club to its Changeover Meeting to be held on Friday, 13th July, 2018 at The Deck, 2 Gheringhap Street, commencing with dinner at 7.00pm.
Geelong East Rotary Club inducted the Deakin University Rotaract Club in the 2006-2007 Rotary year. Since then, our Club and the Barwon Rotaract Club, as it is know now, has had a very close and productive association.
It would be good if half a dozen of our members could be present at the Barwon RC Changeover. The RSVP is barwonrotaract@gmail.com by 10 July, 2018. (No underscore.)
