Serving the Community since 1985

Presidents Report It was great to see Georgy back for the third time, and we look forward to inducting Max Darby next week. Lets continue to use our personal connec-tions and our high profile at the moment, with events like the Farmers Market, to keep looking for potential members. This week is a busy week in Rotary with our regular meeting, Bayside Council presentation, Beaumaris Primary 100

th, Royal Melbourne Mayoral Golf Day

and our third Farmers Market. It was a first for me to represent Rotary and formally speak at a Bay-side Council meeting. We were supporting the pro-posal, along with eight others from Traders associ-ations, Rotary and other organisations to have Christmas decorations. It made me realise we should have an active interest in what council is discussing and be prepared to represent a view if it is important to the principles of Rotary or our com-munity. For those of us with elderly parents, our guest speaker this week, Michael Robinson, provided an insight into the issues in managing the complex tri-angle between the elderly, the family and provider organisations. I will be representing Rotary at the official ground breaking for the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School. This is a project that is being championed by David Hone and has received support from our

th. Our main

task was being a Talking Melway to help guide pedestrians to the entrance. We also took the opportunity to promote our upcoming Farmers Market, which by all feedback from those we talked to, is well known and well liked by our local community. Next week we have our own Richard Shermon helping understand the complexities of Tax Planning, and Mary Sealy will keep us legally correct as chairperson.

SHIJI: MLMIN ROPLQOQ,

TOHLM: LLRLQS IQIHIQIQTN T HOUI With a career spanning over 28 years in differ-ent areas, Michael is a leader in strategy and change. He has specific expertise in process redesign, market research, strategic and ser-vice planning, process-based costing, facility development and business planning. Michael successfully introduced new approaches to Vic-torias ambulance services, maternity services, aged care and other areas. He developed a commercial approach to government-funded health service directories, in which he retains an interest. His partner is Dr. Gil Tidhar. Gil has over 25 years experience in research, development and commercialisation of advanced technologies, ranging from artificial intelligence, decision sup-port systems to advanced simulation technolo-gy. Gil successfully founded, grew and sold a software business to a multi-national. He re-tains an interest in academia and collaborations between research, government and commercial organisations. Gil contributes, on a volunteer basis, to the leadership of community and sporting organizations. Michaels experience in age care and health services lead him to perceive a developing problem. An ageing population needing more care but wanting to leave their homes while the global demand for health care services ex-plodes. He and his partner offered LivBetter as one alternative solution to this dilemma.

What is LivBetter? To quote from their website; LivBetter is an online marketplace for support and care. A place where family, friends, volun-teers and service providers can connect, sup-port each other and share the care. LivBetter makes it easy to arrange and offer the support needed. Why did we create LivBetter? The Pain Point As we confront ageing, most of us worry about: Losing our independence, dignity and control; Not being able to do what we want, how we

want; Becoming a burden on our families and society; and having to leave our homes because the care load falls unsustainably on one person. Around the world support systems for older people do not meet the needs, expectations and aspirations of the next generation of retir-ees the baby boomers. Something has to change not just the retire-ment age! Now theres LivBetter. With LivBetter we aim to make it easy for any-body to: Make a difference at any age by helping others; Organise the support we need to live at home, longer; Share the care and tap into the goodwill and resources of family, friends and our local com-munity; and Build supportive communities; better places to grow up and grow old. LivBetter helps create The New Old Age in the hands of the Baby Boomer generation the great lifestyle re-inventors.

In the Hole Photograph by Christoph Jorda, National Geographic To get this shot, taken in Austria, Christoph Jorda set up two Profoto B1 flash systems: one on top of the ice cave and one inside. We had to dig out the en-trance of the cave because it was almost totally closed by the snow you see in the foreground, Jorda writes. The problem? According to Jorda, the ice cave was at an altitude of nearly 3000 metres the temperature was at minus 20C, and the flash didnt work properly. So he [had] to jump a cou-ple of times to get it right, he says.
