Message from our President - Ron's Ramblings
An enjoyable evening was had by all who attended our last meeting at the Cheltenham RSL on Wednesday night, very informal and good conversation.
Earlier this month I sent out an email containing list of clubs that I thought might make a good group of other clubs we may wish to work or be involved with. At this weeks meeting I would like to hear of any suggestions in response to the questions I circulated on Sunday related to the groupings of clubs in our area that will be proposed by the Regionalisation project team. You should have already received an email from them regarding nominations for group leaders of those club groups.
Our meeting on October 4 will be back at Cilantro and our speaker will be local councillor, Hadi Saab, the Mayor of the City of Kingston.
Board members don’t forget the Board meeting on Monday October 9th.
The Rotary Club of Moorabbin is now meeting back at ‘The Buckingham’ in Highett due to closure of their previous evening meeting venue at Hangar 4 at Moorabbin Airport.
Yours in Rotary ‘Create Hope in The World.’
President Ron

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.
