Thanks to John B for chairing the evening. Interesting to spot a lot of Hawthorn scarves in the room - might that have something to do with our location and demographic?? No thought for the day this week. A long list of guests on the night as you would imagine for our Footy theme. David Parkin - our guest speaker Ian Davidson - President Rotary club of Balwyn Russell Jones - Past President RC Balwyn Michael Stillwell - PP RC Kew and our Community Leader - watch out for his presentation next week Graham 'Smokey' Dawson Ken Scott Lee Thompson Ty Erasmus - Lili-Ann's nephew Robyn Mc Nair Geoff Ballard Leonie Taylor A great turnout altogether Here's the notes from the Pres A Note from the President August 21st 2024 It was lovely to see the room full at our meeting this week! I think it had something to do with
the guest speaker, David Parkin, coming to talk about all things AFL. Guests and members
alike dressed in their favourite footy colours making the room very colourful. I trust there will
be a similar turnout next week for Michael Stillwell, partner of Jillian Woinarski, when he
comes to tell us all about his role as our Local Community Leader. Michael comes to the role
with vast experience in Rotary, including as an Assistant Governor, and as a mentor for
small business owners, so we have much to gain from working with him.
FORaMEAL has been going great guns this month, with another packing event at
Camberwell Grammar today . What a powerhouse Nora, Doug and the team
have been!
Sunday Market volunteers have been having better weather lately and this Sunday looks like
being lovely-I’ll really enjoy my shift chatting to locals and visitors. Lili-Ann’s story last week
on the Market was spot on.
The RIMERN team just get on with it, though they will miss Rob Simpson while he is
overseas.
Thank you, John Braine, for taking on attendance and meeting organization duties in Rob’s
absence. Remember to let JB know by the previous Thursday if your aren’t coming to the
next meeting, or the names of any guests.
A huge thank you to David Chivers for taking on the lead for Wear the Wattle, an important
source of revenue for the club. He will be calling on people to become involved, but don’t
wait to offer to help in reinvigorating this important project.
I’m very pleased that my ‘pink bin’ recycling has developed a following. Thank you to those
who each week bring and donate their 10c recycling bottle and cans. I may have to expand
to a bigger container!
A wonderful thing about this club is that people who take on jobs are so motivated and
beaver away at their roles. More stories and about these activities would be great to share,
so please send these to Tony Laycock. Look out for the interview with me, your pres ,when I
was interviewed live last Friday night on the Rotary and Community Services Radio Show.
Tony will put it on the club website soon.
