Message from our President
From the Desk of President Margaret
Thank goodness the 2022 footy season is over! Congratulations to all Geelong supporters. The 2023 season is too far away for any sort of contemplation so let us focus on something else.
The enthusiasm demonstrated by all members, present at the meeting on 21st September, for the District Incentive Rewards program was very encouraging. Based on member contribution as to what we can do, it would appear that the club can earn at least sufficient points to win a Rotary polo shirt for each member. However, it will be exciting if we can earn the maximum points for a hoodie each. Let us all do our best over the next few months. I will keep a tally and inform District as well as all members on our progress. {click on image for more info)
The program for the first six months of this Rotary year will be available by the end of September. Geoff Gledhill and Paul Ferguson are responsible for program this year. If any of you hear or know of any interesting speakers, please give the name(s) to either Paul or Geoff to follow up regarding a presentation at our club meetings. We can then invite potential members to listen to them. Interesting speakers will hopefully be an added reason for potential members to join our club.
Remember, the club is for all members and it is up to each one of us to keep it interesting and vibrant.
Have a good week.
Thanks everyone
With every best wishes
President Margaret Mason
Speaker info this Week: This week's speaker is Vicki MacKay
Ron chaired today's club meeting at Cilantro. Larry conducted Invocation and Geoff conducted the Loyal toast after the club observed a minutes silence in recognition of the Queens passing. Tony, Charles, Glenda, Peter N, Terry and Karin joined the meeting via Zoom.
Rotary International President Jennifer Jones appeared on the main stage at the star-studded Global Citizen Festival on 24 September to highlight Rotary’s commitment to eradicating polio and announce an additional US$150 million pledge toward that end.
The detection of poliovirus, and even cases of polio, in places where it hasn’t been found for years has demonstrated once again that eradicating a human disease isn’t easy, especially in the final stages.
In recent months, an unvaccinated man in the United States was paralyzed. In the UK, poliovirus was detected in sewage. In Malawi, a child contracted polio. And Mozambique announced its first polio outbreak in 30 years.
Rotary International and the U.S.-based nonprofit Ukraine Friends have agreed to collaborate to provide resources, organize logistics, and distribute funds for high-impact projects that help Ukrainians affected by the war with Russia.
A number of members enjoyed a great night of fellowship at the Arcobar in Moorabbin.
Amongst the group were Jo, Sam, Grant, Anna, Julie and Stewart, Ron and Marilyn, Neville and Cheryl, Alan and Julie, Faye and Ken, and John and Margaret
President Margaret chaired today’s club meeting at Cilantro that coincided with the D.G. club visit from our District Governor, Ken Miller. Other guests included our Assistant Governor, Les Marton, and Peter Cummins from Beaumaris. Greg conducted the invocation, and Sergeant John M conducted the loyal toast which included a toast to our new sovereign, King Charles III. Glenda, Charles and Peter N joined the meeting via Zoom.
After discovering new perspectives and being inspired by new ideas at the 2022 Rotary International Convention, attendees and virtual participants are looking ahead to next year's gathering in Melbourne, the sparkling second city of Australia.
