Message from our President - Ron's Ramblings
Good afternoon everyone,
As Ron is away I will just take the liberty of saying a few words on his behalf. I'm sure everyone enjoyed last week's guest speaker Neil Soullier from the Blue Ribbon Association. What a great initiative to partner with the Assistance Dogs as a means to address mental health issues amongst members of the Police Force and families. Our special thanks goes to Margie Lucas for stepping up to take notes from the meeting which can be found here.
This week our speaker will be Ian Armstrong OAM, President and Patron of the Victorian Antique Dealers Guild. Ian Ballantine
Yours in Rotary ‘Create Hope in The World.’

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL CLUB TOAST
Grant conducted the Rotary International club toast to President Anne Isavwa and members of the Rotary Club of Mbuluzi-Mbabane in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), in Africa. Eswatini is a landlocked country in Southern Africa – bordered by Mozambique and South Africa. The club was chartered in 1990 and is the third oldest Rotary club in Eswatini and one of two clubs based in the capital city. Projects include providing painting materials for Ekwetsembeni Special School, a play area for Sinethemba Preschool, donations for the annual scholarship program for the Salvation Army High School, Solar lamps for students at disadvantaged schools, support for Diabetes Eswatini, and providing food hampers for the elderly.
Karin was chairperson for today’s club breakfast meeting held at The Deck, Bay Street, Brighton. Tony conducted invocation and Kellie conducted the loyal toast. Partners Ken Oakes and Gary Ramage joined the meeting.
Today’s meeting was a social evening where a group of approximately 20 members and partners enjoyed each other’s company and a lovely meal at Cheltenham RSL. President Ron called on Larry to perform Invocation before the following announcements were made:
Team members: Alan, Peter, Ron,and Grant early (RCBMC) Steph and Lynn from Moorabbin Other helpers and visitors: Cars in queue: 2. O Night parkers :2 Pedestrian count 1005 Market Report: Cool start to morning with rain threatening but did not eventuate. Not as busy as anticipated but steady flow of pedestrians and a few casual stall no shows. Good to have the referendum team not out the front for a change. Overall not a bad morning. Leader, Alan Kempton
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.

A reminder to members to keep checking the calendar of upcoming events for evening and perhaps, one day, daytime events.
