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!

SAVE THE DATE

It is with great pleasure that we announce the date, time and place for the inaugural D9815 Changeover.

Saturday 29th June, 2024,

at Cardinia Cultural Centre,

40 Lakeside Boulevard, Pakenham

6:30pm for 7pm

This will be a memorable event as it will highlight the accomplishments of both Districts 9810 and 9820 as they join to form District 9815.

It will be a fabulous opportunity to meet and mingle with Rotarians from both Districts as we learn about each other and how we can work together in the coming years.

Booking and cost details will follow shortly. Put the date in your calendar and anticipate an exciting evening where you meet new friends and may hear of different project ideas for your Club.

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.

Rotary Districts 9820 and 9810 will host President Gordon and Heather for two days. The primary purpose of his visit will be a mental health symposium. Monday 3rd June be part of history at the Frankston Arts Centre as we engage with President Gordon and attempt to make dealing with Mental Health issues and finding solutions more accessible.

Attached is a flyer promoting the forum, ‘Let’s Talk about Elephants”. This symposium will be open for everyone to attend, Rotarian and Non-Rotarian. President Gordon along with health leaders and professionals, will be an integral part of the event. Save the date and book your seats early to avoid disappointment.

We will also be hosting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see and hear President Gordon at our "Lunch with The President" on Sunday 2nd, June at our beautiful Mornington Peninsula venue RACV Cape Schanck. Also attached is a flyer for the lunch.
