Message from our President - Ron's Ramblings
This week we have the CEO of Glen Eira council Rebecca Mc Kenzie as our guest speaker and this will be an ideal time to find out what is happening in Glen Eira a community we are so closely involved in.
As announced at our meeting last week the Board has asked our lawyers to prepare sale documents and vendor statement to facilitate the next steps in our sale of the property in Frankston.
Our next meeting on August 30th is an evening meeting at Cilantro and we have an interesting and I am sure entertaining if not somewhat hilarious speaker in David Baird, a contact of Tim Lynch’s. Glenda will provide a more detailed bio on David next week. I remind everyone how important it is to book for this event, particularly if you are bringing your partner or a friend.
Tonight I am signing a memorandum of Understanding which will hopefully enable us to again secure a District Grant to provide further funding towards one of our community/ market funding projects.
Yours in Rotary ‘Create Hope in The World.’

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.
