Message from our President - Tim's Tattles
At our last meeting we had Matthew Gibney speak to us. We funded Matthew to go to to the Rotary International Convention, held in Singapore.
All those times that we go to market on Sunday mornings in the cold, rain wind and shine all seem worthwhile when I listened to Matthew speak . His positive demeanor, clarity of purpose. A natural leader for the future and we as Rotarians have helped create that .
You should all be very proud of what you have achieved here.
On another matter I attended the Cystic Fibrosis function on Saturday afternoon in which our BMC Rotary members featured heavily. Faye Weeks was instrumental in organising the members and arranging food and some prizes. About 100 people attended this very happy function and raised about $6000 by auction and raffles. A great effort Faye and your team.
Congratulations and thank you.
Yours in Rotary ‘The Magic of Rotary’
President Tim Lynch

Ron was our chairperson for today's club meeting with a return to our favourite venue Cilantro. Guests included Kate and Jane from Riding for the Disabled, and our guest speaker Matthew Gibney from Rotaract. Apologies were received from Tony, Linda, Barry, Larry, Dee and John.
The following is a letter sent to the Club by Neil Soullier OAM, Chief Executive Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation.
Members are encouraged to read it so we can perhaps discuss down the track.
INSIDE STORY
Inside Story is a program developed by the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation 25 years ago in conjunction with Victoria Police.
It’s an event where the public can be part of an audience to hear detailed stories on significant crimes committed in Victoria from current, serving Victoria Police detectives.
Marg Lucas chaired today's club meeting at the popular cafe and restaurant - Onyx in Reserve Road, Cheltenham. A lovely and bright cafe within an industrial zone of Cheltenham with great food and ambience - though also a space shared with other patrons.

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.
