Newsletter for the Rotary Club of Western Endeavour - Issue No.: 1117 Issue Date: 28 Apr, 2024

The fantastic Rotary Club of Western Endeavour website was shown to members of the Whitfords Rotary Club at its meeting held on Monday 18 September 2006. Webmaster Laurie Dender demonstrated the site and many of its capabilities to a very interested group. President Lindsey Francis is very keen to see her club purchase the product and her club members were enthusiastic to know that the funds will be going to the Cord Blood Bank.

Members Laurie Glossop, Jane Guillaumier and Judy Dinnison also attended the meeting to assist in answering questions from the Whitford's members and to give their views of how simple the site is to use and how useful it is as everything is updated in real time.

Since the development of the club's website (after many hours of work by webmaster Laurie Dender), the Board agreed that the club should consider selling the product to other clubs and a group of Western Endeavourites have formed a sub-committee to look at marketing our product. The price charged for the product does not reflect the hours Laurie has devoted to making it such a great tool, however will make it more accessible to other clubs. Most of the funds raised by its sale will be donated to the Cord Blood Bank.

Many clubs either have no website or a static website which more often than not is out of date. The website developed by Laurie is a great tool for our club and by offering the product to other clubs, should assist in bringing their communication into the 21st Century and at a reasonable cost.
