Prof Mike Case gave us an interesting talk two weeks ago on the problems that the University is facing with Engineering and how it is doing its best to integrate the three levels of engineering qualification.
Don Lindsay is studying the painting closely in order to give UJ a valuation whilst Jankees Sligcher and Hugh Rix stare in astonishment at Paul Kasango's breakfast. Mike Vink has just dozed off!
Our speaker this week is Jenine Coetzer talking about what she saw in Haiti shortly after the earthquake. She is with the SABC External Service and went there with a team of Medics.
She'll be showing us pictures and talking about her experiences and impressions. Her husband Steve will be showing her pictures as she admits to being a little technology challenged.
In this photograph she is wearing her normal working clothes.
The 27th sees Francis Callard's Induction as District Governor and our President, Graham Donet, will be representing the Club. We wish Francis all of the best for 2010 - 2011. It will be a particularly challenging one as he is the first DG of the new District 9400. He and his team have the job of knitting the new District together and getting everything to work. It's not just a new far-flung district it is also being run on Rotary's new experimental restructured system and that effects all of us. I believe it will mean many more opportunities within Rotary in the future. The new District includes Mozambique, Botswana & Swaziland so life must be more interesting.
We are almost half-way through the World Cup and I looked out for Ian Widdop at the Netherlands/Denmark match. He had no choice but to wear orange thanks to Jankees but he was quite lucky not to be arrested for ambush marketing of chicken broiler units!
Our team this week is Portugal. They have so many supporters in South Africa!
