This edition of the RCBNews heralds a number of changes. It is a cooperative effort by Phil Mortimer, Jeff Taylor and your usual editor. Thanks to Phil Rowell for the great story of last week's GSE focused meeting. Did you know there have been 70,000 GSE team members? As well as a list of last week's notices and meeting highlights please click the button below to find our how to get your notices and stories in the RCBNews from now on...
 The new bulletin automatically includes all events on the website so you can simply list your event online. The second option is to write a story on the website. If you don't know how to do this Phil Mortimer is very happy to give you some coaching. The final option is to email me your notice or story and I will load it for you.
Each month we will be asking the committee involved in that month's Rotary Theme to write a short article each week for the RCBNews. Since October is Vocational Service month we will begin with my committee.
