Hi everyone!
After many weeks of preparation, another successful Gippsland Rotary Golf Classic was held on Monday 25th March. This is our major fundraiser for the year, which enables us to
continue to support Rotary projects and our local community. As always, a great team effort with Rotarians, family member and friends all pitching in to do whatever needed to be done to help make the day a wonderful event, including the Inner Wheel Club of Moe who help us each year with the serving of dinner. Sincere thanks to everyone who assisted in the lead-up and on the day.
I would also like to thank all the individual players and sponsors as this event couldn’t happen without them. We get so much support from businesses and organisations, from
within our local community and further afield and we are extremely grateful for their ongoing support.
While golf can be a serious business, there is always a lot of fun and laughter on the day, particularly during the post-game meal, competitions and auction. It was great to see everyone having such a good time and we hope to see everyone back again next year!

An update on a Club project.
Robin made a presentation to the RJCA students at Albert Street Primary school about their program which starts in term 2. Principal Monique Osborn and Welfare Officer Bek Harkensee had already both shown great enthusiasm for President Lyn’s Wheelchair for Kids project and are now supporting the idea of a school “Wheelathon” to raise money for chairs. Building on this Rtn Robin invited the kids to identify what a chair should look like and then showed them the WFK chair.
He showed a video from a Melbourne school and discussed how a Wheelathon might work. The exciting part is the RJCA kids will be deeply involved in designing and running the day, as part of their RJCA project. To our knowledge ASPS will be the first school in Gippsland to run a Wheelathon as part of their RJCA program. It is President Lyn’s wish for this Club project to involve as many of the Club as possible, and there will be scope for the entire club to be there on the day and possibly be part of a BBQ fund raiser.
