Jankees is then away for a while so the Club Assembly will take place in mid July.
Don't forget the Membership Evening on the 27th May and let Allan Beuthin know if you are coming and how many prospective members are accompanying you. These evenings have proved very valuable in the past and they are socially fun as well.
Wednesday 18th May is Local Election Day and a Public Holiday so our "meeting" will take the form of a bring & braai at our home in the wilds of Kensington where some of you have never set foot before. It will be a true adventure to a land where satnavs never function and our idea of a cellphone is two flags on sticks!
I have included the following article on Social Networking within Rotary as it can provide useful contacts for us.

Flickr
Add your photo of a Rotary event to the RI Flickr group pool, and your photo may be selected for Interactive . Be sure to include your full name, club or other Rotary affiliation, and a brief caption. Note that by adding your photo to the RI Flickr group pool, you consent to its use by RI.
YouTube
Rotary International has its own channel on YouTube that offers video content to those interested in Rotary. The YouTube channel supplements video on Rotary's website by providing Rotarians the means of embedding video onto their own sites. Rotarians, Rotaractors, and Interactors are encouraged to select from a growing collection of pieces from RVM: The Rotarian Video Magazine and from Humanity in Motion public service announcements.In addition, the YouTube channel allows you to be notified about new videos, and viewers can comment on the videos.
Make your website more dynamic and read " Embedding videos from RI's YouTube channel "
Note: These social networking sites are not owned by Rotary International, and RI is not responsible for the comments of others on these sites. To participate, you must join each of the social networks individually.
On social networking sites, there are several pages titled "Rotary" that are not affiliated with Rotary International or The Rotary Foundation. Only the pages or groups in which RI officially participates are listed here.
