Message from our President - Tim's Tattles
Last wednesday we inducted 3 new members to our club .
Jenny Stone, Kirsten Oakley and Chris Burrows.
We look forward to their input into our club to make us more vigorous , exciting and relevant in todays society. Well done team.
Bob Richards spoke to us about Rotary Foundation and our investment into the organisation. Thre great things that can be done. Our almost total conquest of polio which started off as an idea from an Australian rotarian.
On Wednesday at 12.30 a small deputation Ron , Kellie ,Grant and me attended to a presentation for 2 hours at Moorabbin hospital where we were attended by 7 members of their staff. They obviously take our support very seriously . They showed us 3 branches of the hospital Out patients , Chemotherapy and Dialysis.
It is a beautiful hospital clean well maintained but they are in urgent need of funds to keep up their good work. They will send one of their representatives to speak at our meetings so that as a club we can better understand their needs.
Next Wednesday we have Nathan Burke the famous St Kilda footballer speak to us . We expect to have a few guests so let me know who you are going to invite.
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 that you need to be already logged in as a member. If you are not a member, this page will not be of any help. It may still be possible to register for an event as a non member if the event is open to the public.

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.
Ian Ballantine
A reminder to members to keep checking the calendar of upcoming events for evening and perhaps, one day, daytime events.
