Because we have to guarantee the number attending for meals I need to know your intentions by Monday morning May 28th at the latest. You may respond to this email with your number or advise me on Wednesday night. If you say yes we will be charged for your meal whether you attend or not so no refunds will be given after the Monday morning deadline.
Our guest list will include 14 students and their parents and other guests along with 7 school representatives.

Selection of Rotary medallists
The selection of Rotary medallists is to be made by the school. The pattern suggested has been for staff to nominate a number of suitable eligible candidates for the award, after which the students select from this nomination list one girl and one boy whom they deem most worthy of this honour.
Desirable Qualities:
The boy and girl selected as Rotary Medallists should be a person of excellent moral character. He/she should be one who has participated in one or more school activities, and who has made some worthy contribution to the life of the school. He/she should be a reasonably good student. In essence, the pupils selected should have those characteristics, abilities and interest which would make them both worthy representatives of the school and personify the motto of Rotary "Service above Self".
The following qualities are among those deemed most desirable:
1. Cheerful cooperation with authority
2. The desire for success in studies, or play, which is founded on the highest justice or morality.
3. Self respect.
4. Consideration for the rights of others, and the exemplification of Rotary's motto of "He Profits Most Who Serves Best".
