Last Week's Meeting - 14 October 2019

 

 
The photos above are from the plant potting held last Sunday 13 October at the home of Liz and John McCaskill. Fifteen members and friends assisted in potting  more than 2500 plants which are off to the Camberwell Sunday Market commencing on Sunday 20 October and on several Sundays from this date onwards. Very many thanks to everyone who assisted especially Janet Hay and Liz and John McCaskill.
 
President Lili-Ann asked John McCaskill to give our members a short (?) talk on Rotarians for Bees, one of the three signature programs managed by our club. John explained that R4Bees was formed out of concern for decline in bee and other pollinator numbers due to the varroa mite infestation, destructive chemical sprays and disappearing plant vegetation essential for providing our food chain eg. 100% of crops like almonds, walnuts and avocados rely on pollination and 50-70%of almost all other essential food source.
 
R4Bees is  a committee of Rotarians from three of the five Victorian Districts (soon will be all five), together with beekeeping industry bodies, the three levels of government and support organizations working together through research, education and training and major relevant programs to ensure best practice and survival of the pollination species. When this model is up and running, we are going to replicate the model in all states and then internationally,  all started and led through the Rotary Club of Canterbury with fantastic District support.
 
John mentioned some key activities of R4Bees including the major program for 3000 seedlings to be sold in coming weeks at the Camberwell market and other events. He pleaded for support from our Club by attending the exciting event at Greenacres on Tuesday 12th November - this is our official club meeting for that week instead of the Monday and details are on the flier in this Bulletin. We are asking members to bring partners, family and children/grandchildren to this very important community event. It will be fascinating with several leading speakers, interesting and very informative, not to mention fun. The booking details are on the flier and it is as simple clicking on this link https://www.trybooking.com/560661 to book. We are hoping for at least six tables from our Club. Your early registration for the event will help with our planning and ensure you are confirmed for this club highlight night.  
 
Last Week's Speaker - Janet Hay
 
 
Janet Hay provided an entertaining member behind the badge presentation about her life at last Monday's meeting. She had gone to a lot of trouble going over her photos library to provide a pictorial presentation about the individuals and areas of her life which she spoke about.
 
Janet spoke about her varied working roles from being in the arts in South Australia to being an immigration officer on Christmas Island.
 
She spoke with great passion about her travels and especially her Scottish heritage as part of the Hay clan. She visited Edinburgh in 2017 for the tattoo and was able to join with members of the clan and proudly wear the clan tartan. It was clearly evident the emotion that she felt in being part of the tattoo with her clan.
 
Thank you Janet for giving us such a great insight about yourself.
 
Next Week's Speaker - District Governor Grant Hocking
 
 
This week we are very pleased to welcome District 9800 District Governor Grant Hocking and his wife Melissa to our Club meeting.
 
Grant and Melissa are visiting all the Clubs in the District and next Monday we will have the opportunity to hear from Grant about activities and projects at the District level, his experiences so far as our District Governor and we will also have the chance to ask about matters that impact on our own Club activities.

Restoring Hope Golf Day
 
Restoring Hope is a Melbourne based charity that helps young people who have been sexually abused.  They are holding a fund raising golf day at the RACV Golf Club in Healsville on the 10 November.  
 
The mission at Restoring Hope is to distribute Crisis Care Packs and Comfort Care Packs to young people who have been abused.  Typically a child would receive these items at a police station or trauma hospital.  The Packs provide new clothes (necessary for when the police remove clothing for forensic testing), toiletries, a blanket, a colouring book, pencils and a “Hope” teddy bear. The aim is to use this simple act to bring some comfort and a sense of normality to a life that has been turned upside down, and restore a sense of dignity and hope at a time when it is needed most. The details about the golf day and how to book are at the Restoring Hope  website at:  http://restoringhope.org.au/
