Hole in One Update – Mike Toone
Mike thanked everyone who was working on the forthcoming event especially:
- Nicole for her work liaising with the City Council regarding required permits,
- Roger and Bruce co-ordinating the contact with sponsors,
- Those who had attended today’s working bee.
Mike also noted that taking into account only those members who are ready and able to undertake HIO supervision, if each Rotarian did two sessions of supervision per week, club members could cover the majority of the 56 (or was 54) supervision sessions.
Hole in One Sponsors Update
Roger thanked all Rotarians who had contacted sponsors. The response has been very positive with 51 of the 67 sponsors signing on again and only three declining to continue their sponsorship.
