In Westminster Cathedral, sits the Stone of Destiny.
Souvenired by the English from Scone Castle, it has symbolically crowned the kings of Scotland since the mists of time.
Our destiny is finite and of our own making. We try and push back the halo of ignorance, in the hope that Knowledge and Wisdom will lead us on the right path, through green pastures and still waters.
We hope that whatever the mystery that lies in wait for us, we will be treated kindly by the fates. The Greeks thought the fates were 3 women, one spinning the thread, one weaving it into the fabric of life, and one cutting it.
And so we give back more than life has given to us. This is part of a philosophy was probably imprinted by our parent, or if luck will have it, a mentor.
I come this way but once.... for I may never pass this way again. Make the most of the gifts life has given us.
It is not the cards you hold in your hand, but how you play them.
Not everyone has a winning hand. Be gracious in defeat, and mercyful and humble in victory.
Be fulfilled by the things you do for yourself and for others.
Life can be challenging at times, accept the challenges.
Do your best and never give into revenge or pettiness.
Be of good courage, and do not give in to sham and drudgery, for it is a beautiful world. You just have to find it, even though it sometimes looks like a weed.
This is the end of my year, and there is only one task I have left, and it is to thank you, one and all, for the roles you have played in this Rotary year.
You have been an inspiration to your fellow Rotarians, and to the community at large. We are nothing but drops of water in the great big ocean of life, but some of them sparkle; ... some of them sparkle.
Grateful thanks to October Sergeants Bill Connell and aided by Ross Maxfield. Please welcome the two Alans, Bishop and Sinnott for the roll of November Sergeants.
Well, its that time of year again, to take part in the annual "pseudo-race" that stops the Nation, at the Rotary Club of Moe, where we are under the starters order for a 6.30pm meet at the gate , and to see if which winner takes out the prestigious 2018 Lexus Melbourne Cup prize (Stop press: Duretto has been withdrawn; personally I like the sound of CliffsofMoher, has a rather local sound to it .. Ed). Dress ups is optional but there may be a little something for the best dressed! So bring yourself and your finest filly tips to take part. See our racemaster John for placing your seriously fun wagers. We will be joined by some of our other Rotarian friends from Hazelwood and Traralgon Central.
During this month, each bulletin edition will have an article about how your Rotary Foundation (RF) money is spent to assist with humanitarian projects world-wide. It’s important to note that 91% 0f funds contributed to RF are spent directly on projects.
Supporting Education: More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17% of the world’s adult population. Rotary helps to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, and to reduce gender disparity. We do it by taking action to empower educators to inspire learning at all ages, through…
teacher training
adult literacy programs
educating refugees
coaching teachers
mentoring students
schools 4 freedom (action group against slavery)
“When you teach somebody how to read, they have that for a lifetime. It ripples through the community one by one
(This was the last in this series from Rog Taylor, on the Rotary Foundation)
Last week, we had two guest speakers, Anita Huigan-Lloyd, Micro-enterprise Coach, (Good Money store 10 Tarwin Street Morwell) and Moira Laming, representing an e-Lion Club, talking about the impact of the Tonimbuk fires
-Anita presented a slide show of her role in providing a coaching service and microfinance loan for enterprises in the "greater" Latrobe Valley area, an idea started off by the Good Shepherd" program that provided NILS (no-interest loans scheme). Interested youngsters can contact Anita at the Good Money store in Morwell or Anita on 5120 44403 or 0478 650 267, launchme.og.au
-Moira spoke about her role in the Tonimbuk fires, from an e-Lion perspective. Based at the Bunyip Bushfire Recovery Centre at Bunyip, she helped co-ordinate the relief agencies like Red Cross, St Vinnies, Cardiniashire workers, 2 government funded supporters, a dozen or so Samaritans, BlazeAid workers, to work with each other. She stressed the urgency of blanketing needed, which can be donated at the Bunyip recovery centre
-And finally in swindle news, Bryan announced he had sold 143 tickets, a biggest sales of tickets in one day, EVER. Total pool stood at $966, another high on record. President Pet had the first chance at the pot but sadly drew a 6. Then after another drumroll, the luck of the scotsman, Alan Sinnott, picked out THE JOKER and managed to secure himself half the pot at $480. Well done Alan!
-President Pete closed the meeting almost on time, as the incoming Board was invited to join the outgoing Board at the Combined Board meeting
