THURSDAY 25 FEBRUARY
DAVID GOLDSTONE
A NEW APPROACH TO ROTARY
CHAIR: DAVID RUSHWORTH
AV: ROSS PHILLIPS
CASH DESK: LOIS LINDSAY & MARTIN FOTHERGILL
HOST: CHRIS MARTIN

Thought provoking and gripping, our Fellowship

night to view Spotlight wasnt our usual outing for
fellowship, but sometimes we need to look at the
uncomfortable truths.
I had found it difficult to imagine how the storyline
could be made into an absorbing film; but the actors, writers, directors and producers managed this.
Thanks to Richard for his always superb organization and care. I believe Richard, aided by Rewa,
has other surprises in store for us as part of our
Fellowship activities I look forward to them.

THURSDAY 3 MARCH
MAYOR CR JAMES LONG
CHAIR: MALCOLM SAWLE
AV: MALCOLM PARKS
CASH DESK: LYNDA DOUTCH & CHRIS WERNER
HOST: DAVID RUSHWORTH

Last week I wrote about the wonderful turnout of

members for both the Farmers Market and the Day
on Oak Street; later on this week, as I did more Rotary business at night, I was thinking about the contribution volunteers make to society. For the Day
on Oak Street alone, at a minimum, if we count up
the volunteers (7 people in 2 shifts @ 4.5 hours per
shift) this event alone contributed 63 volunteer
hours to the community. If we cost it out at a skilled
penalty rate of say $40 per hour, club members
gave $2,520 of labour on Sunday. We give time
and we give money; both equally valuable.

THURSDAY 10 MARCH
HEATHER CHISOLM & PETER FLUDE
ONE YEAR OF OUR FARMERS' MARKET +
CHRIS MARA ON INTERPLAST
CHAIR: CLEM QUICK
AV: GREG EVERY
CASH DESK: LYNDA DOUTCH & CHRIS WERNER
HOST: DAVID LANGWORTHY
THURSDAY 17 MARCH
NO MEETING DUE TO DISTRICT CONFERENCE

We received an email of thanks from Bryce Gardiner the head of the organising committee for the
Day on Oak Street so our contribution is appreciated.
Bayside Council is holding Community Consultations about Beaumaris Concourse (24/2, 25/2, and
27/2) and the Draft plan for Sandringham Village.
We have been particularly asked to the Beaumaris
Consultation so members including Peter Flude
and Malcolm Sawle will be going along to these
consultations. See details on Pages 2 and 3.
I went to the Presidents Meeting for District on Friday night, some of the interesting information from
that is:

Our own Tony McKenna spoke about RYLA

and represented both RYLA and us very well.

Tony is planning for the next RYLA from

Monday 4/7/16 to Saturday 9/7/16

Colin Norton is now President of Sandringham Rotary for the remainder of this
year and the next. I invited Colin to attend a meeting at VGC and he seemed
keen to do so
Publicity pull up banners are available
from David Tolstrup for events
The District Insurance officer is keen that
we have an attendance list and sign in at
all events we participate in, and that if
there are any incidents that we report
them as soon as possible. He said that
the Rotary Insurance cover for when we
are at events, or travelling to events, provides exceptional cover
The qualification seminar for Global Foundation grants for the next financial year is
to be held on Friday 13th May 2016
There were several volunteering opportunities overseas which David Alexander
spoke about, he can be contacted about
these

In the coming week I am looking forward to inducting Margaret Cunnington as our newest
member next Thursday, as well as hearing our
speaker David Goldstone on a new approach
to Rotary; as Malcolm wrote anyone with an
interest in the future of Rotary should come
along and hear from David how they created a
new approach to Rotary at the Rotary Club of
Crawley (ROC) in WA.

Yours in Rotary
Trish

Painted Sky
Photograph by Soroush Etemad,
National Geographic Your Shot
While visiting Oia, on the Greek island of Santorini, Soroush Etemad
was mesmerized by [the] captivating beauty of this sunset. Beneath
a palette of orange and red, a large
gathering of people stood on castle
ruins to watch the sun go down over
the Aegean Sea.
