Message from our President - Tim's Tattles
Last week the meeting was held at Onyx and we had no speaker . However I was able to reflect on a presentation I attended for the Gleen Eira SES at their Bignell Rd base in East Bentleigh. They had about 30 orange clad members attending.They were very grateful for the funding .
WE had funded equipment for them .a marquis , special outdoor lighting , some protective gear and an electric chainsaw. which allowed them to go about their life saving tasks more efficiently.
This week again we will attend ONYX for breakfast. The week after 9/10/24 we are again at Cilantro . We expect to have a new member inducted on this day so it would be great if you could be there.
Yours in Rotary ‘The Magic of Rotary’
President Tim Lynch

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.
President Tim was chairperson for this evening's club meeting at Cilantro where club members, partners and guests enjoyed a wonderful dinner prepared by students studying at the Cordon Bleu Cookery School.

Waste disposal, particularly plastic waste, is a major problem for remote villages and islands in Fiji. There is no recycling possible in these remote areas, so all garbage is either thrown into a casual landfill, burned in an open fire, left at the side of the road, or thrown into the sea.

Team members: Grant Perry, Peter and Linda O’Brien, Venu and Anita (Moorabbin) Other helpers and visitors: Cars in queue: 1. Night parkers : 1 Pedestrian count 350 Market Report: Very quiet today, not many booking and quite a few did not turn up. The weather was fine early in the morning and quite warm, by 0800 it was overcast and windy. However rain began at about 0900 and had really set in by 1000, clearing the market of most stall holders and pedestrians. Does anyone know where the bike pump that was in the office has disappeared to? Leader, Grant Perry
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.
