Message from our President - Ron's Ramblings
This week we will be privileged to hear from our RYLA participant Henrietta Foley, who will tell us of her experience at RYLA and how she had benefitted from the opportunity.
You will have seen the reminder from Karen and Linda about the opening of bookings for the 2024 District Conference in Warrnambool. As the host club it is important that we are well represented and have a good turn out for what will be the final conference for District 9810 prior to the merger. The bookings will open on Monday 24th July and the attendance at the Saturday night Gala Dinner at the Deakin University is capped at 350.
The board has agreed to our club participation with the Rotary Clubs of Brighton and Brighton North at the ‘Big Serve’ tennis tournament on Sunday 29th October at Beaumaris Tennis Club. We have agreed to assist with the provision of a bar-b-que lunch for competitors and others between 11.00 and 2 p.m. I will be seeking an idea of numbers this Wednesday.
The next Board Meeting will be on Monday August 11th at 7.30 p.m.
Yours in Rotary ‘Create Hope in The World.’
President Ron

Yesterday ( Saturday 22/7) I delivered the donations from club members to Impact for Women in Sandringham. They were very grateful to receive them especially as they were running low on toiletries.
Thank you again to everyone who so generously donated. It is much appreciated by me and those who will ultimately receive your donations.
President Ron was chairperson again for today’s club meeting at Cilantro. Tim Lynch performed Invocation and Julie Reid performed the loyal toast. Our guest speaker today was Grant Holland from the Holland Foundation, and Barry Oliver and Nicholas Bowman were club guests.
Today’s club meeting heralded President Ron Brownlees first club meeting as President for this current Rotary year – held at The Deck in Bay Street Brighton. With our club website down and not knowing who was rostered, President Ron was also Chairperson for today’s meeting. Serge returned as a guest, and Charles joined the meeting via Zoom.

Note from the Editor re Images and Events
A point regarding the submission of images for the Bulletin and Website: Members are reminded that images have to meet a minimum size requirement, as has been specified for some time in the section at the bottom of this Bulletin. 820 pixels is the minimum size required with larger being better as this allows for cropping. The submission of images via MMS is NOT preferred as they are too small and of inferior quality. Email or Whatsapp is preferred.
Would any member like to take responsibility for the updating of the Club's Event Calendar? I have created a page of instructions here so it is very easy to take over.
Thank you, Ian Ballantine
I remind members that you are responsible for the information contained in the Club's database. This includes, birthdays, phone numbers, addresses etc etc. Even your own photo. You maintain this via this link.
Ian Ballantine
A reminder to members to keep checking the calendar of upcoming events for evening and perhaps, one day, daytime events.

If you would like to have something included please contact me at editor@rotarybmc.org.au and attach, as separate files, the words and any images (jpg files are fine, minimum width 820 pixels). Please DO NOT send information as pdf files.
