Message from our President
What a great meeting last week and even thought the attendance was down I had the pleasure of inducting new member Kevin Egan with the assistance of DG Ian. We wish you well during your journey in Rotary Kevin.
I have to again thank all those who assisted at the last District 9810 Conference, Ian did a fantastic job and you all heard how proud he and I were in the way our club and the members of the committee performed to make it such a success. It was interesting to read that an independent former DG gave ratings of either A, A+, or A ++ for all aspects of the conference.
This weeks meeting will be at ONYX Café 328 Reserve Road Cheltenham at 7.00am for 7.10am. Chair is Geoff Gartly, cashiers Helen Nodrum and Tim Moran.
Riding for Disabled is having a 50th year celebration this Saturday 6th April between 10.30 am and 12.30pm at their centre in Heatherton which is accessible via Barkers St which is off Old Dandenong Road. If you are able to attend please contact Jo Impey for further information.
As we enter the last three months of the rotary year it is time for all committee chairs to start thinking about their annual report and finalise any project expenditure so that our Treasurer Sue can present accurate records to our auditor and we get a true reflection of the years activities.
The Frankston property has been vacated by the tenant and we are just awaiting some carpet cleaning and a few other jobs to be completed by Launch/Homeground before we can prepare the property for photography and pending sale.
Our next meeting on Wednesday April 10th will be an evening one at the Cheltenham Moorabbin RSL in Centre Dandenong road Cheltenham, opposite Moorrabbin Airport.
The next Board meeting will be on Tuesday, April 9th, at 22 Booker Street Cheltenham, at 7.30pm.
Yours in Rotary ‘Create Hope in The World.’
President Ron Brownlees

Riding for the Disabled riding centre in Moorabbin is celebrating their 50 year anniversary. RDA - Riding Develops Abilities.
Our club is invited to attend this Saturday at 10.30am until 12.30pm.
Well, we had the District Conference this last weekend in Warrnambool.
I am so proud of the contribution of so many of the members of our Club. All of you contributed to the outstanding success of the weekend.
Having attended so many conferences in the past and watched other Clubs help their District Governor I knew how much "in the spotlight" it places the host club.
You all did such a great job. You made me so proud of my Club and I am so very grateful.

NEWS FROM OUR SISTER/TWIN CLUBROTARY CLUB OF SAVUSAVU
URATA LOOKOUT CAFÉ In 2023, the Rotary Club of Savusavu in partnership with the mataqali Urata, whose land it is on, opened a lookout cafe above Urata Village. This project was all about economic empowerment of a rural community: up-skilling the local community, giving them a stake in tourism, environmental rehabilitation, establishing a highly attractive tourist stop on the Labasa - Savusavu road.

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
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.
