Message from our President - Tim's Tattles .
Last Wednesday we had Denise Grocke an emeritus professor of music from Melbourne University speak to us about Music therapy. She spoke to us about music and the therapeutic affects of listening to it. It was a most informative discussion.
On Thursday night a group of rotarians Jo Impy, Helen Nodrum Jenny Stone , Karin Soster and Gary , Margaret Lucas,and me attended the applied learning award at the Loev center at 77 Keys Rd Moorabbin. Our contribution as rotarians was well acknowledged by the administration. A former roatrian Danny Schwarz was the guest speaker
This was a most worthwhile function where students were rewarded for their efforts in practical skills.
It was great to see the enthusiasm on the faces .It makes it all worthwhile. Fundraising .
Together we all achieve more.
On Saturday I will be representing rotary at the caulfield scouts annual awards ceremony.
Yours in Rotary ‘The Magic of Rotary’

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 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.

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