Len’s Log 11:
Hi Folks,
This last week we had our District Governor’s annual visit. Governor Lynne Westland met with the Club Board members and we went through our prepared papers on our Strategic Plan and all aspects of the club’s operations, plans for the 2016-2017 year and discussed aspects of the Rotary International and District year. The Governor’s partner, Trevor, was an apology for the meeting but we did mention his chosen Charity for the year which is Wheelchairs for Kids and the club donated $200, which is one wheelchair.
Governor Lyn spoke to the whole club over dinner and she was vey gracious and supportive. She particularly singled out our website as being one of the best she had seen across the 50 clubs in the District. (Congratulations to our busy webmaster, Bryon Puddy). We were reminded of International President (2016-2017), John Germ’s key two areas of emphasis: Polio Plus and Membership of Rotary, by the Governor.
In all this was a friendly and open meeting with the DG. We did, at the Board meeting raise the increasing costs of Rotary Membership and how we needed to be aware of the potential impact of such increases. Lyn was very open to this discussion and aware of differences across some country towns.
It was good to be back at Rotary after my absence for a couple of weeks and I want to thanks Past President Michael Koch for filling in and especially Acting Secretary and Treasurer Bryon Puddy for all the support and very hard work he has so far put in.
Thanks to Maureen Bishop as secretary for pulling all the final paper work needed for such a visit and I am glad to hear that the Botanic Gardens project is flying ahead (with a grant from the Latrobe City to boot!) under Alan Bishop’s busy leadership. Well done.
Now on to the Marigold’s project for October and our visibility in Moe campaign.
Also soon we have to prepare for a Bali School visit.
Having lived in Switzerland, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and now residing in Yinnar, you would expect that the current Latrobe Regional Gallery director would be an interesting chap.
If so, you'd be quite right!
His talk, following the visit last week to the new Moe Library, has reintroduced our club to culture (what next Peter Kingsbury? A trip to the opera?) In fact, a future program for Peter to consider may be a visit through the Gallery followed by a Rotary dinner at the gallery cafe.
With anew website, a new technician, new up-to-date signage and revolutionary ideas, it seems LRG is certainly going ahead! Mark showed us several of the exhibitions which are on display in the facility's 7 galleries housed across 2 floors, with 850 metres of floor space. In addition, the ground floor is a sculpted courtyard.
Keep your eye out for the 2017 exhibitions including The Glass Collection, "MINE" from London's Tate Museum and Films and Video Art from South Africa.
Thanks to those Rotarians who have given me their Form 3.
Would those who still plan to do a Form 3, (some members have a current working with children check, but no form 3),
kindly get them to me ASAP, as we need to advise District of our names and numbers.
In the meantime I discovered an obligation of any WWC holder to update contact details. If you have moved home please note
"So the Department of Justice & Regulation can contact you, by law you must update your personal, contact and organisation's details within 21 days of the change."

"When my husband and I arrived at a car dealer to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it's open !'
His reply, 'I know - I already done that side.'
