Pete's Peregrinations

#38

It has been a great week with the official announcement from the Latrobe Valley Authority and Latrobe City about the railway themed playground for the Rotary Park. Four years in gestation, involving a lot of hard work and the patience Job on the part of Alan and Maureen and the Community Committee, we got it across the line.

Well maybe we can improve the botanic gardens, as a follow up project. This should have community involvement, similar to the Morwell Rose Garden. We have already contributed to some trees there, that were planted by our In-coming Rotary exchange students.

Three Moe Rotarians attended the District Avenues of Service meeting in Warragul. It was proposed that Rotary clubs be set up in primary schools, which will lead on to Interact, Rotaract, and then onto Rotary. Nothing was mentioned about the existing Rotary Junior Community Awards and how they would fit into the new structure. Moe Rotary is already integrating this into our proposed Interact Club at our local secondary school.

PDG Don Ripper is busy getting the 100 year celebrations of Rotary in Australia ready for 2020. He is also in Charge of the Rotary International convention for Melbourne in 2023. He will be busy and the club will offer him every assistance in making these two projects a success.

On Tuesday, Di Harrison and her team provided dinner for the Blaze Aid Volunteers, who are camped at the Yinnar Football Club. Great effort Di.

Rotarian Len Cairns, provided an overview of the 3 Community consultations into mental health and drug and alcohol detox and rehabilitation for the Latrobe City and greater Gippsland.

See you on Monday

Pride of Workmanship 3 December

Youth and Vocational Chair, Robin Noakes advised the Club at last weeks meeting that most of the jobs on the Pride of Workmanship night have been delegated out, almost replicated like in most years. Club members to be available as early as possible, from 6pm, as invited guests and recipients will be due from 6.30pm If you are still unsure what to be assisting with, please get in touch with Robin. Community Chair ROss MAxfield said that he would have have advised his committee members of their roles on this night too. Ross would like his team to be able to meet from 5pm at Old Gippstown to organise and setup catering, so as meals can be served from 7pm. Another great night ahead is to be expected with Bryce this year, as the MC for the night. A thank you in advance to all those working behind the scenes to pull this evening together.

December sergeants

As we start to wind down for our Christmas program on 17 December, there are not many days for a need for a sergeant. Bryce and Bruce have kindly accepted to share the role for Dec and Jan as they will only be needed for the two meetings of 10 December and 21 January. Many thanks for our two Alans' in the Club, for helping through November.

Christmas event 17 Dec

Please confirm names and numbers in your group, adult and children eating and/or just seating numbers if not staying, (especially if there are special dietary requirements). I MUST hear from you by return email or text please, the sooner the better but certainly by Friday 7 December. Non attendance to be advised too, so as to rule you out, confirming the message has been read.

I am not attending the next couple of Monday meetings so your co-operation with this matter, as always, is appreciated.

Many thanks

Kishor

"Makeup" to Attendance Officer

There have been several non-Monday night Rotary events in the recent few weeks, but I dont have many "make ups" requested by members. It is up to the individual to advise the Attendance Officer . Drop me a line if you need a make up credited for your attendance

Thoughts from last meeting.

-President Peter gave a brief report on the Avenues of Services presentation at Warragul last Sunday, accompanied by with Robin and Di Harrison and PE Helen

-Dave Woods expressed his thanks to the members that assisted in the Easter Friday Childrens Hospital appeal, raising some $900. Peter proposed $500 to be made as a Club donation. The motion was moved by Di Wilkinson and seconded by Di Harrison

-Alan Bishop advised the Club that Bruce Paul, Alan and Maureen Bishop will be the Clubs invited representative to attend the announcement of the Railway themed park at the MOe botanic garden

- Treasurer Bryan confirmed that there were still a couple of sponsor payments from the Golf Day outstanding and the best raised funds will be nearer $27,000. Due to increased RI and District dues, next years membership fees will have to be seriously looked at.

- Len gave a thorough progress to date with the Community drugs and alcohol forums at last 3 Wednesday RSL meetings in Mow, Morwell and Traralgon. He expressed thanks to all members who attended and supported the events, It leaves him to reflect on the points to draft up to forward to the Latrobe Advocate and to raise the matter the the state government minister

-Di Harrison was asked by the DG at the SUnday meeting, and extended a request to members to assist the feeding of the members helping BlazeAid Yinnar on Tues 30 April

-Robin asked to give a thought to this years Business Excellence Award by 13 May 2019, for presentation in June

And in Swindle circles, its getting very hairy with the prize pool swelling to $628. Alan Bishop won himself a 7 and Alan Sinott unluckily drawing 6

Zen'isms

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.

Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.

Do not walk beside me, for the path is narrow.

In fact, just p*** off and leave me alone

Sex is like air; its not important unless you aren't getting any

No one is listening , until you pass wind

Always remember, you are unique.... just like everyone else

Never test the depth of water with both feet

If you think nobody cares whether you are dead or alive, try missing a couple of mortgage payments
