Message from our President - Tim's Tattles .
Last week we had a presentation from Jenny Pudney from the Mentone/Mordi RC and Jenny Cloke from the Salvos about homeless people that are sleeping in their cars. This is a very insecure practice . So far the rotary club in conjunction with the salvos have been able to provide car spaces for these people in a carpark in Dingley with additional things such as showers and toilets. They currently have about 10 cars but the issue is now security for the people sleeping there. They need some funding to hire a security guard.
I attended last Saturday an award presentation ceremony with the Caulfield scouts which was well attended . We donated some of the prizes at a cost of $150 . A great investment in our future. Tremendous future leaders coming to us here.
Cup day the Brownlees are hosting a function at their place with a start at 12 .30
Next week we have an evening meeting at Cilantro where Simone Gescheit, an actress, will speak to us about public speaking , communication and the human experience. Holmesglen are putting on a cordon bleu dinner which will be the last for the year. We have space for extra people if you have any guests or prospective members. Call me .
This should be awesome.
Yours in Rotary ‘The Magic of Rotary’
President Tim Lynch

As members may recall, a couple of weeks ago we had reason to call for an ambulance to attend at Cilantro.
I am taking the opportunity now to recommend to members, and whoever else finds this article, to consider installing the Emergency Plus app on their smart device. And, to ensure you place a shortcut on your Home Screen.
Opening the app at a time of emergency will give you immediate access to the appropriate phone numbers and, very importantly, provide accurate location information. Often a simple street address may not be available or useful.
Read on into this article for how to obtain the app and a summary of what it contains.
This article is intended to help members register themselves and/or a guest to a Club event. Note, your can also register your intention NOT to attend.

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 far superior.
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.
