One of the most rewardings things that happenings at Rotary when you hear part of the life story of one of the members. This weeks it was Kevin Egan. And what a riveting story it was .!
Here he was illiterate at 29 years of age and turned his life around and now he is a published author and has a speaking circuit in China . He has an MBA.
Well done Kevin.
Kevin had confided in me that he has a desire to run sessions on business networking in the area and obtain our support to arrange this.He sees a need for this sort of thing
He is looking to us to assist him with this great idea in some way.
Well done Kevin your story is inspirational.
Yours in Rotary ‘The Magic of Rotary’
President Tim Lynch

Members are encouraged to read it so we can perhaps discuss down the track.
INSIDE STORY

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.

Team members: Julie Reid, Margaret Lucas, Vishal Mahajan and Barbara Mendleson and Jenny Pather.from Moorabbin RC Other helpers and visitors: Helen Nodrum Cars in queue: 0. Night parkers : 2 Pedestrian count 168 Market Report: Due to weather being wet, windy and cold there were very few stalls who arrived to set up. A couple of regulars including the plant man and the egg man braved the weather. Pedestrian numbers were very low. The heater in the office proved to be our best friend for the morning. The RACV paid a visit to get a car started for one of the stallholders. Some stallholders left early. Leader, Julie Reid
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.

If you would like to have something included please contact me at editor@rotarybmc.org.au and attach, as separate files, the words and any images (jpg files are fine, minimum width 820 pixels). Please DO NOT send information as pdf files.
