Message from our President - Tim's Tattles
It was great to listen to the Rotary delegate Minh Ngyuen from Rotary Medical Aid for Children. It makes it so worthwhile being a member of our club that can provide medical aid for children that is life changing. At the conclusion of our meeting we donated a cheque for $2000 enabling the good work to continue. Well done BMC .
Next Wednesday morning we meet at Cilantro again. We will have a former representative of the Aust Para Olympics arranged by Kevin Egan who will talk not only about the Olympics but give us some motivation as well.
In this year of Olympic games I am looking forward to this
Yours in Rotary ‘The Magic of Rotary’
President Tim Lynch

A number of Club members attended a RYDA (Rotary Youth Driving Awareness) event held at the Sandown Greyhound Facility.
In attendance were Helen Nodrum, Grant Perry, Peter O'Brien, Jenny Stone, Ian Ballantine and Bruce Fitcher (Moorabbin Rotary Club). Helen Parker also came along as an observer and supporter for Jenny.
This was the first time our Club has been involved with RYDA. The school we sponsored was the Cheltenham Secondary College and there were about 115 students and a further 10 or so staff. We hope to have a couple of the participants come along to a Club meeting in the near future to tell of their experience.
I can assure you that all of us were very impressed by the program and were very proud of our Club for sponsoring the day.

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.
Thank you for being a subscriber to our Weekly Club Bulletin. I try to have it published each week by Tuesday morning.
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.
