Message from our President

Sadly like all good things, there has to be an end. This will be our last meeting before Changeover and I would like to thank you all for your support, advice, and friendship over the past 12 months. There has been a couple of challenges over the past year although we have ended in very positive and healthy position. I urge each member to give incoming President Tim Lynch, pictured below,  and his board your continued support.
The Frankston property saga is ongoing and I will email members separately of the current status.
Whilst you have had access to my regular weekly reports it would not have been possible without the ongoing and dedicated contribution of our bulletin editor, DG Ian Ballantine who has continued to do the weekly publication task as well as his incredible duties as District Governor. THANK YOU IAN.
Due to a late cancellation of this weeks speaker we will be hearing brief reports from our main committee chairs on their years  activities and highlights.
Thank you for the great honour and privilege to serve as your President for the past twelve months.
 
Yours in Rotary  ‘Create Hope in The World.’
President Ron Brownlees

McInally Luncheon June 2 2024
A number of members from our Club attended the special luncheon held at the Cape Schanck Resort on Sunday, June 2, 2024.
The event was attended by the RI International President Gordon McInally and his wife Heather, who had generously agreed to "call in" on their way home from the Singapore International Convention.
The invitation was originally extended, and accepted a year ago.
Along with DG Ian, club members who attended were: Club President Ron Brownlees and Marilyn, Linda and Peter O'Brien, Karin Soster and Gary, Jo Impey, Helken Nodrum and Margie Lucas. Unfortuantely, Helen Parker was unable to attend as she has returned from Singapore with Covid and was home in bed feeling very unwell.
 
Pictured above are our club members surrounding President Gordon.

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
