Individuals sometimes subconsciously seek to skew matters to achieve an outcome “fair” to them, but not necessarily fair to all concerned. When considering what is fair, I force myself to look deep into my heart and play it out carefully, because there are no absolutes of fairness to all. Then I mull over the third and fourth points, “will it build goodwill and better friendships" or “will it be beneficial to all concerned”. That helps me to get suitable solutions to most situations. For me, fairness is not only an attitude but also a professional skill that I need to keep working on, developing and exercising - huge thanks to Glenferrie Rotarians for your support. We may not share the same philosophies, beliefs, and opinions, but we value our Rotary values and fellowship and continue to do good in Rotary.

It’ll be a week earlier than the officially gazetted day. Please save the date. It is possible to sign up under the Rosters tab on the Club website: Click here for direct access to the Clean Up signup list. It would be marvellous to have a good turnout and the BBQ has been a convivial occasion in recent years.
