Au Revoir
Well, this is the last edition of the Phoenix that I will be producing. Penny Vos will be taking over in the next Rotary year and I wish her well in her endeavours to produce an interesting and informative newsletter. It is not an easy task. The Bulletin program in Clubrunner (the product this club uses to produce the Phoenix) is not an easy program to learn to use. It is not at all intuitive, its slow, clunky, definitely not 'what you see is what you get', text and images move all over the place, it's hard to format, and frankly, I don't know why anyone would want to use it. There are much better publishing programs available. Well, that's my little rant. Good luck Penny. I'd use a different program.
And now its time to say goodbye to those of you in the E-Club, because as of the end of this month, I will be transferring back to a land-based club. Now that I don't live in the country anymore, and don't have to dodge kangaroo's, wombats or black ice at night when driving home from Rotary, I think I would like to go back to helping with Bunnings BBQ's, and other land based club activities. Also, having been club secretary for the past two years, it will be nice not to take on any official roles for a while. I know that won't last long, I can't help myself but be involved. Best wishes to Tony Miller, who is taking on the role of Club Secretary, he will be on a steep learning curve. (I've done the job in three different clubs about 10 times, but every club does it a bit differently.)
Hopefully, I can stay on as a Friend of the E-Club and join you in meetings from time to time.' So bye for now,
Dee
