Message from our President
“Serve to Change Lives”
“Thanks”
My bulletin report this week is short and sweet.
Simply put thank you to each member of this club for allowing me the privilege of serving as President for this Rotary year 2021-2022.
The year had some challenges but overriding these where the highlights. Once we broke the shackles of covid lockdowns and could be together for face-to-face meetings, the buzz
In the room was palpable. The projects and opportunities for club members to be out and about and visit our partnership organisations has started to open up
and I personally have gained an entire new perspective and appreciation whilst on visits either to our partnership organisations or other district clubs and district meetings.
Our achievements as a club, which are many, have been well documented in the end of year reports, which Ian will be loading onto the website for all to read. Look here.
I acknowledge the leadership of Daryl Moran DG for this year and thank him and Jenny Moran for the support provided to all clubs in the district.
My thanks go to each of the members of this club for your support, attendance and involvement. Especially though to the members of the board who without their input none of what is reported could have been achieved. My personal thanks for the mentoring, support and friendship extended throughout the year.
I extend every best wish to Margaret Mason as incoming President and am looking forward to working with her and the incoming board during this next Rotary year.
I assure you all of my full support and involvement in club activities.
Thanks everyone
With every best wishes
President Helen Nodrum

Inner Wheels Change Over
Rotarians are invited to Inner Wheels Change Over on 6th July at Woodlands Golf Club
Details on the invitation All welcome and I'm sure a good time will be had by all
Carol Rosenstein was watching her husband, Irwin, slip away inch by inch. At one time he had been a brilliant lawyer, a lover of Broadway musicals, a world traveler. But after his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in 2006, he developed dementia, and slowly everything changed. His gait flattened to a shuffle. The sparkle in his eyes turned into a blank stare. His mood soured. Worsening matters, the medications he took caused hallucinations and extreme agitation. As communication grew more challenging, Carol felt the distance between them growing.
Some photos from the District 9810 Changeover held Saturday, June 25, 2022 at the Southern Golf Club.
I'd like to thank Linda and Peter O'Brien, PE Margaret and John Mason and President Helen Nodrum for joining Helen and myself at this event. Ken Miller (DGE) and his club of Emerald and District did a great job hosting the event at Southern Golf Club. I would like to remind members that it will be our responsibility to host this event next year.
Tony Ryan was our chairperson for today’s club meeting at Cilantro. Peter O’Brien performed the invocation and Ron Brownlees performed the loyal toast. Peter Nolan and Charles Rener joined the meeting via Zoom.
Well what a night it was – a night to celebrate the end of one Rotary year and the beginning of a new one, and it couldn’t have been better than last night’s Changeover to commemorate the changing of the guard to farewell our current President, Helen Nodrum, and welcome in our new president, Margaret Mason. A fabulous venue in the Sanctum Room at St Kilda Football Club, with excellent food, lovely table decorations and presentation, live background music from Bradley Marshall on piano, a well-run program, an entertaining and witty Master of Ceremony, wonderful speeches and all over too soon before it was time to go home and contemplate the year that was, and consider the promise of the next one yet to unfold.
The 2022 convention in Houston, Texas, USA, offered plenty of inspiring moments as Rotary's global network gathered in person for the first time since 2019, following two conventions that were held virtually because of COVID-19. The convention offered participants new horizons to discover through in-person events and a robust schedule of virtual offerings (with recordings available through 31 August).
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.
I had the pleasure of dropping into St. Kilda Mum’s unannounced on Thursday last where I was warmly greeted and invited in. Each year donations made on a nominated day in June are tripled through the corporate sponsors of this organization, hence our $2,000.00 donation increased to $6,000.00. Ruth Holdaway CEO is seen here in this picture with yours truly.

Pedestrians 446. Helen Parker and Billy came to visit. Cars in queue: Nil O’night parkers: Two Market report:Very quiet start with only 3 tables/racks sold by 7am. Weather cool and damp but promising to clear up later. Steady rain started to fall around10.30, just as pedestrian traffic was starting to improve. This pretty much signalled the end of the market for the day. My thanks to Julie and Helen for their assistance and great company on what turned out to be a pretty miserable day.
