Message from our President

 
This weeks meeting will be fellowship evening meeting visit to Cheltenham Moorabbin  RSL  in Centre Dandenong Road opposite DFO. I recently tried some of their new menu and will be interested to see how others feel.
Last Saturday several members visited RDA in Heatherton to join their volunteers in celebrating the groups 50th anniversary. They gave a showing of some of their horses and gave an outline of the groups history and services they provide.
We all need your help in responding to roster activities and if you are unavailable could I remind all of the necessity to arrange a replacement or swap to fill your place. If you have any interesting speakers or a theme or project you would like promoted at a meeting, please let Glenda Stahel or one of her team know. 
Not much else to report s we all enjoy a sit back and relax after the conference and Easter.
Yours in Rotary  ‘Create Hope in The World.’
President Ron Brownlees

District Conference 2024
Well, we had the District Conference this last weekend in Warrnambool.
I am so proud of the contribution of so many of the members of our Club. All of you contributed to the outstanding success of the weekend.
Having attended so many conferences in the past and watched other Clubs help their District Governor I knew how much "in the spotlight" it places the host club.
You all did such a great job. You made me so proud of my Club and I am so very grateful.

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
