Club Meeting May 14 2025 MyRotary Jules Geddie

Posted by Karin Soster on May 14, 2025

Ron Brownlees chaired today's club meeting at Cilantro. Guests Kerrie and Gary joined the meeting, with Charles joining in a little later via Zoom. Unfortunately, our planned guest speaker from Emerge was unable to attend, however, this provided a great opportunity for PDG Ian Ballantine to demonstrate how to use My Rotary - a training session for new members and a refresher for our existing club members in one!

We also inducted our newest member, Jules Gaddie.

For the information of Club members, we have recently installed in the Bentleigh Market office, a Defibrillator.

All members who are attending the market should familiarise themselves with the device by:

Reading the broad description of what a Defib does
Watching the instructional video.
Reading the placard on the wall.

Bentleigh Market May 18, 2025

Posted by Ian Ballantine

I had the pleasure of leading the team at the Bentleigh Market on Sunday, May 18, 2025 and I thought I would post a few pics.

The team was myself, Kirsten Oakley and Dee Mason. A very special thanks to Larry Green who volunteered to come along for the first few busy hours. Note that the pic including Larry shows him in "civvies". This is because I left it to the time he was on his way to take the photograph. I can assure you he was in Rotary hi viz all morning.

Assisting us from Moorabin were Vivien Chetty and Andrew Kenny. At the end of the morning Jen and Nick from Holland arrived to help pack up.

A very special appearance was made by John and Margaret Mason. Very wisely, they timed their visit to the sunniest time of the morning.

For those members who aren't aware, Dee is John's daughter.

Also in attendance were Dee's dog and John and Margaret's dog.

There is a separate story on the defibrillator here.

RC Springvale Polio Fundraiser

Posted by Ian Ballantine on May 08, 2025

Club members Linda O'Brien and Ian Ballantine attended the RC Springvale City Polio fundraising event at the SAIGON REX Restaurant . (We also took along PDG Bob Richards of the Sandringham RC.)

The event was attended by DG Colin Byron and Leanne along with many local dignitaries. The Club is to be commended for the degree to which it has connected to their local community.

This night never disappoints! Always a night of colour, noise and generosity towards End Polio.

Funds raised on the evening brings the Club's efforts over the years to in excess of $100,000.

The RC of Springvale should be commended for their great effort under the leadership of joint Presidents Angelina Colombino and Cathy Jackson. Not bad for a Club of only 20 membrs!

A number of Paul Harris Fellows were awarded on the evening.

McKinnon Secondary College Interact Club

Posted by Helen Nodrum on Apr 30, 2025

Club members Helen Nodrum and Glenda Stahel attended the Interact club at McKinnnon Secondary on Monday this week 28th April, 2025.

The interact club at McKinnon Secondary College was first formed in 2017, through the efforts of the then chair of Youth Services, Mr. Peter Guttman.

Over the years at odd intervals our club as the sponsor club have endeavoured to support the interact activities, but it did become “ad hoc”.

The purpose of this meeting was to reinvigorate and reestablish a working connection between the Interact club and Rotary club of Bentleigh Moorabbin Central.
