Message from our President - Tim's Tattles

After much hard work we have obtained the presence of Tim Wilson who was a former  Australian Commissioner for Human Rights, the former member for Goldstein and new liberal candidate for Goldstein. Tim will speak to us on the evening meeting of 4/9/24 ( A delicious Cordon Bleu dinner)about challenges confronting Australia. This promises to be an exciting meeting. This outstanding Australian should attract interest from the public and is a good opportunity to invite guests and prospective members for the evening.
(Please click here for details of this evening. NOTE, use the On Line Registration link to reserve your place as we will be limited for numbers - Ed).
This Wednesday we are fortunate to have our bulletin editor to speak to us about our club website , how to it works and so on. Its a bit of a mystery to me consequently I am looking forward to it with the hope that I will be able to access more information/data  from it. The lovely Faye Weeks will not be joining us this Wednesday. Faye is booked in for a hip replacement Wednesday morning and by the time I speak to you her surgery will be well underway. All the best Faye!
 
Yours in Rotary  ‘The Magic of Rotary’
President Tim Lynch

Thanks from ROMAC
The following message was received from Minh Nguyen who attended our Club Meeting on the 14th August.
 
Dear All, I would like to thank all of you at the Rotary Club of Bentleigh Moorabbin Central for giving me the opportunity to present ROMAC to you last week and your donation of $2000 to ROMAC. Such generosity is very needed and meaningful. It certainly gives us, the volunteer Rotarians, encouragement in continuing the work in giving life-changing opportunities to those disadvantaged children. The club atmosphere was fun, friendly, relaxing but not lacking its class despite the early hours. I enjoyed it. Thanks to all. 
Regards,
Minh Nguyen

RYDA Cheltenham College Aug 19, 2024
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.

Market Report August 25 2024

Team members: Geoff Gledhill Peter O’Brien, Tim Lynch, Charles Rener, Bruce from Moorabbin RC.
Other helpers and visitors: Sam Langridge
Cars in queue: 0. Night parkers : 1
Pedestrian count 
Market Report: A steady morning without a fully booked market. Weather held out for us. Six enquiries about booking stalls. Coles manager was having a sook over the parking situation again blaming us for reducing his customer count. Best if we encourage stall holders to park in the next car park up from Coles.
Leader, Geoff Gledhill
 
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
