Hi Everyone

Hi everyone!

What great news Teagan Micah formally from Moe (daughter of Steve Micah ex Rotarian) will be part of the Matilda’s squad trying out for the Paris Olympics in 2024.

Since December Teagan has been playing in Liverpool as a goal keeper in the Women’s Super Legue.

GOOG LUCK TEAGAN!

On Monday at our meeting, we spoke on the future of our club. I will take on the role as President for 2024-2025, but I also need a President Elect and Secretary and assistant Treasurer to Di Wilkinson. These are very important roles that need to be filled to keep the club running. We also had discussions on how we can change things to attract new members, and there was great input by all of the members with great ideas.

GREAT NEWS! The total amount raised for Wheel Chairs for Kids is $6279.51 that comes to 22.83 chairs.

Our meeting will be held at the Moe Hotel in Lloyd Street for a 6.15 to 6.30 start we will be having our meals before meetings and we don’t get interrupted during meals.

On Monday night 19^th February will be having a Nominating committee followed by a board meeting at Lyns 11 Colli Drive Newborough at 6.30pm

Have a lovely weekend.

That’s all for now.

Rotary club of Moe

Meeting 6th November at Moe RSL

Melbourne Cup Eve

6-00 for 6.30pm

Hi everyone!

Well, what a quiet week we have had.

On Monday night we went to Moe Hotel for our partners night and it was a very enjoyable night, good food and good company.

On Monday President Lyn and Di Wilkinson Foundation Chair attended Lowanna College in Newborough to present a $1000 cheque for the Foundation Student Scholarship to Principal Adam Hogan and Assistant Principal Michael Lakeman.

Money raised so far for the “Wheelchairs For kids “is $2000, and I would like to thank PP Robin Noakes for the great job he has done in promoting the chair. Again, I would like to thank Robin Noakes for all the hard work he has put in organizing the car parking roster for the Earth Market Day on November 12^th.If you think you can help on the day, please contact Robin.

The Elvis and Roy Orbison tickets are selling well and we should have a good crowd there.

Next week November 6^th we have our Cup Eve night at the Moe RSL so come along in racing outfit, also we will also be having raffles on the night.

There will be no Rotary meeting on the 13^th November instead it will be held on the 15^th November at Albert Street Primary School for the RJCA school presentations. It would be great to see our Rotarians attend, and we are also looking for volunteers to help with the BBQ on the night starting at 5pm.

That’s all for now

President Lyn

President Lyn has asked me to organise a Melbourne Cup Eve program for this week.

Here are the details -

Theme : Cup Day for Rotarians and Partners

Dress: Anything with a race day theme e.g. fashionable race wear, jockeys, stewards, glamour to the nines, or a "down and out" punter. Your choice.
Sweeps: We'll aim at a couple of $2 sweeps as we won't have the numbers of previous years.

NB: 1. If you want to purchase a sweep horse or two but cannot attend on the night, contact me and I'll pay. you can fix me up next time. (Bishops are already in.)
Melbourne Cup Trivia: You don't need to be a race-goer to enjoy this. The questions should be manageable to most of us.
NB: 2. There will not be a swindle conducted on this night.

Moe Earth Market 12 Nov 2023.

As you are aware a number of us are helping marshall car parking for this event. In discussion with coordinator Emily Vella we agreed that it would be useful if our team each had a hand held CB radio.

My call is for any Rotarians with a Hand held CB to lend it to us for the day. If you are not a volunteer on the day perhaps you might bring it to our meeting on 6 November. I will go into more details with the volunteer team after the meeting on Monday. Please make yourselves available.

Thank you.

Robin on behalf of Alan B. (call me “mini AB”)
