Serving the Community since 1985

Presidents Report Counting the days now to Conference and our Farmers Market and I know both will be a great success. Plus, in the near future, we have our Tennis Club event, ANZAC 100

th evening, Glow for Good, and, before

very long, The Mayoral Golf Day. Who said things were slowing down in the last part of the Rotary year!!! We welcomed Martin Fothergill back this week, along with our three prospective members, Lyn, Max and Jason. Our speak-er Andrew Home educated us on the com-plexities of Bankruptcy and Receivership. Bob McArthur is working on an event for ROMAC, and hopefully we will secure the services of Max Walker to talk on May 30

th.

More to come shortly on this, and we are trying to get more of the public along to help support ROMAC. Trish has done her President Elect Multi District Training. A date for all incoming board members and others is May 17

th

when District Assembly will be held. Remember no meeting this week. I will see many of you at Conference and be waiting, along with Peter Flude, to get some SMS reports as the Farmers Market Day pro-gresses.

Notes from PETS (President Elect Training Seminar)

held at the Federation University Ballarat 28/2

to 1/3 Federation University is a very pleasant cam-pus, it will be a lovely place to have the Con-ference. I learnt a lot particularly around the requirements for any potential Rotary Foun-dation grants and the rigorous process in-volved, as well as the close contact with RAWCS required. I also found out about the Rotary Australia Benevolent Society (RABS, like all things in Rotary it has an acronym) which is an Australian vehicle to funnel be-nevolent donations through. The priorities of the incoming DGE (District Governor Elect) David Tolstrup are - Mental Health/ Domestic Violence/Men's Health/ Road Safety/Indigenous initiatives -The theme is " Be a Gift to the World" Dates for the Diary -Sunday 17th May, District Assembly at Parkdale Secondary College, in July DG David and Alison Tolstrup are due to visit us.
