Presidents Report
I counted on Thursday and there are 9 weeks to go both to the
end of the financial year and to the end of the Rotary year.
How I will miss being President of this wonderful club, it is so
strong and there are such wonderful contributors in it. The
spirit of service and fellowship is marvelous.
That spirit was very much on show at the Royal Melbourne
Golf day. Months in the planning; a dedicated team were then
all there on the day along with other members. It was a won-
derful day with bookings at capacity, and bookings and com-
mitments for next year. It was faultlessly organized.
The Lesley Falloon Perpetual Trophy (the Mayor of Sandring-
ham who inaugurated the day) for the best ladies score was
presented to our own Heather Chisholm. Well done Heather
(inaugural winner) and tremendous thanks to Lesley Falloon,
who at 95 presented the trophy and gave a speech. Lesley
was accompanied by Cr. Felicity Frederico, both of them were
very appreciative of the day and the care and consideration
shown. The Mayor, James Long presented the major trophy,
his support and that of Council generally is much appreciated.
Council was well represented with Cr. Bruce Lowe also at the
day; it is a tribute to the connections made by us with Council,
particularly Peter Flude’s liaison work.
Thanks go in particular to the committee for the golf: Jim
O’Brien, David Hone, Robert McArthur, Richard Jones, market-
er extraordinaire Peter Flude; and in no particular order Tony
Phillips, David Lea, Roger Frewen, Malcolm Sawle, Vivienne
Zoppolato, Mike Hede and especially the registration staff Pat
Seager, Maureen Flude and Jeni Beaty.
Club members contributed by playing too, thanks to those who
made up teams.
After the golf we went to Rumeah Aneka and had a cheap and
cheerful meal with lots of fun. Thanks for organizing Tony.

Tuesday was the Board meeting: Peter Flude briefed us
about the Beaumaris school and progress with the Educa-
tion Department. As he announced on Thursday, there is
$20 million in the Budget for the rebuild of the school.
This is tremendous news for us and the community, we
will still need to be following up and ensuring our future on
the site as the project develops. Heather Chisholm
briefed us on the progress she has made on the first of
what I am sure will be a few Community gardens.
Heather’s boundless enthusiasm and organizational abil-
ity have seen us joining with another club (Beaumaris
North) a community partner –the Church and already put-
ting in Grant applications. Ken and John reported that the
seeking of partner Rotary Clubs’ funds for Sabu is pro-
gressing very well. We again discussed Insurance as this
is an area where we need to ensure that the Club and
individuals are protected when we are on Club Business.
On Wednesday I went to the Cheltenham Community
Centre AGM. We were mentioned in Arna’s verbal report
about five times and the written annual report mentions us
extensively too. Our support both monetary and through
service is truly valued by this organization. They are a
model of how a Community Centre should function so it is
great to support them.
Our speaker from Bayside Council Kelly Edwards was
informative; this is a very productive partnership with their
department and I am sure we will be doing more with
them. They have the contacts to suggest young people
for RYLA so we look forward to their response to Tony on
candidates.
On Friday night, Malcolm, Ken and I went to the Presi-
dent’s meeting at Mulgrave. Apart from taking an hour to
get there because of the traffic, it was a very informative
meeting. A couple of items of note were that the District
has now Conflict resolution and Youth Protection Policies
and that the Council on Legislation has made some signif-
icant changes, including that Board Minutes should be
made available to the membership within 60 days – a
very commendable change. I will report on these further,
however this column is already long enough.
Lastly don’t forget to stand near Heather Chisholm soon;
some of her luck may rub off on you.
Yours in Rotary
