Di's Dialogue #49
 
 
Konnichiwa!
The Tokyo Olympic Games have begun! During lockdown, sport provides a focus of interest for many people and that was certainly the case in our house last night. First the footy then the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Tokyo.  Although slow moving at first, the occasion gradually gathered momentum. Highlights were the lighting of the cauldron with the Olympic flame, seeing our flag bearers, Paddy Mills and Cate Campbell, leading our Australian team into the arena, and the amazing drone formation above the stadium.
Closer to home, three states are in lockdown. For those of us with family in NSW, we know how they feel and the despair about a possible longterm lockdown will be overwhelming for many people. For Victorians, I am hoping our lockdown will be over soon.
So, for Moe Rotarians, that means we will be zooming together again for at least the next two Mondays…
As Robin Noakes is still travelling through the WA outback, I will oversee Zoom and will send out a Zoom link Sunday evening. Our new Sargent-at-Arms, Barry Dunstan will host the meeting on Monday night. Sincere thanks to Rog Taylor for organising the program at short notice.
A group trivia will be part of the program, so please participate and find a trivia question that has three answers, with one being the correct answer. Further information about the program is included in this bulletin.
Lastly, an update regarding the preferred venue for club meetings. Thank you to everyone who participated, and I was really pleased that 26 out of 28 active club members voted. Overall, 4 members were happy to meet at either venue; 2 preferred the Moe Hotel; but the Moe RSL was the clear winner with 20 votes. Secretary Maureen will contact the RSL and confirm future bookings. Nonetheless, we do need to acknowledge the support of the Moe Hotel as a meeting venue from early February through to the end of June. How we do this will be discussed with our Program Chair, Rog Taylor.
Enjoy the weekend. Stay safe and I will, hopefully, see you all in Zoomland on Monday night!

Botanic Gardens Upgrade Centennial Project - Update to Club 28th September 2020
  • The Club Sub-Committee for this Project (Di Harrison, Barry Dunstan, Bill Connell, Len Cairns, Alan Bishop, met on the 23rd September at the Botanic Gardens to review progress.
  • Reviewed Grant applications to date and noted Club’s application for $7000 from Latrobe City Council was unsuccessful with an opportunity to reapply in March 2021.
  • Agreed to wait until application to Energy Australia for funds for a replacement BBQ from their Project funds and then review if we are to proceed with the Project as previously outlined to Club.
  • Sub-Committee to then prepare a full submission, once the outcome of Council Elections are know, and to firstly present this to our two Councillors and then Council Officers.
  • Sub-Committee reviewed: The internal arrangement in “Pash’s” Pavilion and whether a rearrangement of seating would be better, subsequently agreed there is no gain in this. But there is room to mount a double BBQ of modern design.
  • Small Rotunda was inspected and agreed to seek quote for roof replacement then Club to repair and repaint ASAP.
  • Rotary Round Gardens (Swing Bridge Garden): noted that it has been cleaned up and awaiting replanting.
  • Position of gardens beds established for Len Cairns’ Rotary District Funded Flower beds. This project ready to proceed and some materials already purchased.
  • Memorial wall inspected and agreed that it should stay as and where it is.
  • Future projects. Raise with Council the need for new pathways and improved drainage and Disabled parking in the parking area.
