The Rotary Club of Moe is pleased to announce a shared presidency for the 2025–2026 Rotary year.
Len Cairns will serve as President from July to December 2025, with Alan Bishop assuming the role from January to June 2026.
Together, Presidents Len and Co President Alan are united in their commitment to the Rotary International theme, “Unite for Good.”
Last week was a scheduled Board Meeting, however we had to cancel due to Board
members absences. Some still overseas, PP Lyn in the wars, Robin off interstate selling Kid's.
Wheelchairs successfully... what a great effort Robin. We will welcome back some of our
intrepid travelers soon.
Next week we will be sorting out workers for a spate of upcoming BBQ at Old Gippstown, Sunday 7th Sept, Energy Australia R U OK day at the mine, Thursday 11thSeptember and the Ellinbank Football Grand Final Day at Trafalgar, Saturday 13thSeptember
This will be an exhausting schedule! We will need all hands to the BBQ.
This work, while demanding, does raise significant funds for the club and our activities. It
also puts us in the face of the community when we are in a year of trying to recruit new
members and friends of the Rotary Club of Moe.
If you did the quiz from last week I will provide the answers on Monday at the meeting.
Bring your diaries to be able to make a note of which BBQ you can help with.

BUSY TIME IN SEPTEMBER FOR BBQs
September is shaping up to be a busy month for BBQs, with several invitations received for our Club to assist with catering. Your help would be greatly appreciated at the following events:
Sunday 7th September
A bbq at Old Gippstown on Sunday 7th September for Father’s Day.
Thursday 11th September
Energy Australia has once again invited us to cook egg and bacon sandwiches for their RU OK? Day breakfast.
This will require 4 volunteers and a 5 am start!!!! Alan and Ross have volunteered – so another 2 ‘early risers’required!
Saturday 13th September
We are also being considered to assist at the Ellinbank Football League Grand Final being held at the Trafalgar Football Club on Saturday 13th September. This would be an approx. start of 9 am through to around 4pm.
We may look at arranging volunteer shifts for this event. At this stage the Bishops will be on duty for the full day – so will be requiring another 1 or 2 volunteers for each 2 hr shift.
Final details are still being confirmed, and I’ll keep you updated over the next couple of weeks.
