Message from our President

 
Last weeks speaker was unfortunately struck down with an acute attack of sciatica and in any of you have suffered something similar you will understand why he did not attend.
This weeks speaker is one of our newest members Brent Govan who will speak as the ‘member behind the badge’.
I have sent President Elect Tim Lynch  the invitation for all club committee chairs and officers to attend an online ‘District Assembly’ which provides update information and invaluable guidance and advice for all those taking office in July. Please see Tim for the program and registration details.
As it will be Anzac eve on Wednesday I have asked John Mason to give his usual recitation of the Anzac Requiem and Ode.
On Thursday a couple of members will be attending Bentleigh RSL to lay a wreath on behalf of the Club and I will be doing the same at Cheltenham /Moorabbin RSL in the afternoon.
LEST WE FORGET
Yours in Rotary  ‘Create Hope in The World.’
President Ron Brownlees

Club Meeting April 17 2024
Secretary Neville was our chairperson for this week's club meeting, and called upon our newest club member, Kevin Egan, to perform invocation and the toast to Rotary.  Apologies were received from Helen, Linda, Jo, and Paul.   Karin joined the meeting via Zoom.
 
There was no guest speaker for today's meeting and provided an opportunity to discuss other matters - namely, our wonderful BMC market - our fund raiser that has been going strong for over 40 years and never fails us.  We are very lucky.

RC Springvale End Polio Evening
Last Thursday evening a number of members attended the End Polio fundraising evening held by the Rotary Club of Springvale City.
What an amazing evening this is, held at Maxim's Saigon Restaurant in Springvale.
I have already posted a story on the District 9810 site here.
From our Club we had President Ron and Marilyn, Peter and Linda O'Brien, Helen Nodrum, Margie Lucas, Tim Lynch, Jo Impey.
A special thanks, on behalf of (my) Helen to Linda O'Brien, Sam Langridge and Ron Brownlees for donating prizes to the raffle which raised $1,265.

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
