Reports
We do not have long to go until next year and have already made a profit with our calendars. If you have any at home that you have not sold then please return them and we will sell them through the club

President Remarks
Our dear friend David Owens passed away on the 2nd of this month. He was a kind and generous man, who was always there to help anyone who needed it. He was a strong foundation to a wonderful family. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Out of respect for PHF David Owens, the meeting on the 14th was cancelled as we gathered together to pay our respects.
We also have our Christmas Party on the 12th of December. Everyone should have now received an email to RSVP. If you have not, then please RSVP to Leanne by the 7th of December.

Brian Moodie on Club history
Brian Moodie read out an old 2005/06 Club report for Club history week. It was an interesting way to see what the club used to be like a few years ago.
Closing remarks
David's funeral was at 11 am on the 14th and was open to friends and family with a private burial after and then a celebration of his life at the Comfort Inn. We have been asked to assist with the Port Augusta Rotary van at their Christmas Pageant. We have three people coming to assist but would appreciate more if you are free.

Honorary Membership
"Honorary" is one of the two types of membership a person may have in a Rotary club. This type of membership is the highest distinction a Rotary club can confer and is exercised only in exceptional cases to recognize an individual for unusual service and contributions to Rotary and society. Honorary members cannot propose new members to the club, do not hold office and are exempt from attendance requirements and club dues.
Many distinguished heads of state, explorers, authors, musicians, astronauts and other public personalities have been honorary members of Rotary clubs, including King Gustaf of Sweden, King George VI of England, King Badouin of Belgium, King Hassan III of Morocco, Sir Winston Churchill, humanitarian Albert Schweitzer, Charles Lindbergh, composer Jean Sibelius, explorer Sir Edmund Hillary, Thor Heyerdahl, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Bob Hope, Dr. Albert Sabin, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and many of the presidents of the United States. Truly, those selected for honorary membership are those who have done much to further the ideals of Rotary.
