Rotary Club of Beaumaris 2012 2013 Annual Report Page Three
What a good year we have had at the Rotary Club of
Beaumaris!
We enjoyed enlightening and entertaining meetings,
many excellent fellowship events, and a successful year
of fundraising and project implementation. All this with
our finances in good shape and another carry-over sur-
plus into the next Rotary year.
We are fortunate to have a wonderful venue for our
meetings, the Victoria Golf Club, which makes our
meetings that much more pleasurable. I trust this rela-
tionship with the Victoria Golf Club will continue for
many years to come.
Congratulations must go to District Governor Brian Mar-
tin and his team for the organization of the district con-
ference this year. It has to be one of the best ever,
with the right balance of speakers, formalities and en-
tertainment. There was an excellent turnout from
Beaumaris to enjoy this annual event, which was held
at Wangaratta.
The 5th Avenue of service, which was introduced into
Rotary in 2010, is New Generations. Our club has been
active in this area, sponsoring local students for partici-
pation in such events as National Youth Science Forum,
Rotary Youth Leadership Award and Model United Na-
tions Assembly. Our youth hold the key to Rotary’s
future, and I believe that it is essential to support them
as much as we can.
Our membership is in good shape, where we are now
47 members. Retaining this high level of membership
has a lot to do with providing an enjoyable environment
where members want to come to our meetings and fel-
lowship events, as well as being able to participate in
fundraising and project activities.
We have had many successful projects during the
2012/13 year, both internationally and locally.
On the international front we are continuing with our
projects on Sabu Island (Indonesia), where our focus
has been on water and sanitation, health and educa-
tion. To assist in our work on Sabu, we have received
generous support from the Rotary Clubs of Brighton
North, Seminyak (Indonesia), and Feldbach (Austria).
Our international portfolio has also included providing
support for disaster aid and water and sanitation pro- jects, and sponsorship of at-risk children.
A significant effort has been
made by our Community teamto make a difference locally, but
also to raise Rotary’s profile in
the local community. Both the
Bayside City Council and the
Bendigo Bank have helped us
make a difference with their generous grants that go
towards our community projects.
With our community work, relationships have been
formed with local organizations that we are supporting.
These include Beaumaris Life Saving Club, Bayside
Community Church, Berendale School, Evolve (assistingdisadvantaged youth) and Sandringham hospital.
We cannot carry out our projects without funds, so suc-
cessful fundraising is an integral part of our club’s oper-
ations. There were our usual annual fundraising pro-
jects this year, such as car parking for the Masters golf
tournament and the Mayoral Charity Golf day at Royal
Melbourne. The fundraising team was also able to raise
funds by combining with fellowship events, so we were
able to raise money while having a good time!
When I look at the success of our projects and fundrais-
ing, I can’t help but notice that a very important reason
for this success is the many external partnerships and
relationships we enjoy.
Of course the main reason for our success is the hard
work and dedication of our members who contribute so
much, as well as the important role their partner’s play,
where they are often active in fundraising events and
project work.
I wish to pass on my appreciation to the Board, all
members and their partners and our friends of Rotary
for making this the successful year that it was. And a
special thank you goes to my wife Sue, who has always
been with me on my journey. It has been a privilege
and an honor to serve as your President for the year
2012/13
My best wishes go to incoming President Bob McArthur
and incoming First Lady Sue.
Our International President’s theme for 2012/13 is
Peace through Service. I believe we have helped pro-
vide this as we work to bring health, safety and human
dignity to those in need.

MEMBERSHIP AND MARKETING
Committee Membership comprises:
Trish Smyth (Director), Peter Flude,Anthony Nixon Peter and Anthony havebeen very supportive and it is a pleas-ure to have them on the Committee.
Our Membership Goal for 2012/13 was50 members by 30/6/2013, currentlywe are at 47. At the start of the year we had 46 mem-bers, and 4 honorary members.
Three new members have joined the club, Susan De Bol-
fo, Judi Hall and Chris D’Arcy. Susan was previously amember of 2 other Rotary Clubs and both Judi and Chris joined us via a personal invitation from an existing mem-ber.
Two members have left active membership the Club,Vratka Pokorna has moved to Tasmania and joined a clubthere; Brian Kimpton has become an honorary member,and brought their numbers up to 5.
All Honorary members have been contacted to ensurethat they would like to retain this status and all have
confirmed this.
Looking at past years between a 5% to 10% attritionrate is standard, so the importance of our initiatives toretain and recruit members is highlighted.
Retention strategies have included via the Board, an em-phasis on all members being involved, e.g. the Hostingand Cash Desk rosters, requesting feedback of newmembers, and contacting members when they haven’tattended to assure them of our support and letting all
know of the Leave of Absence provisions. Statisticalanalysis of membership profiles, length of service, etc.has also been undertaken.
As part of recruitment the initiative of interviewing po-
tential members and informing them of the expectations,
costs and potentialities of membership, has been contin-ued.
Marketing initiatives also form part of long term member-ship recruitment, and these have included, publicity innewsletters, press releases and presence at CommunityEvents to promote Rotary and its membership and con-tact potential members. Two events particularly “got ourname out there” the Dog’s Breakfast in January 2013 atRickett’s Point and the Playground Launch at Black Rockin February 2013,
I would particularly like to thank the partners of Rotari-ans who have are always very supportive of events likethese, and who are also a very important part of the re-tention of our membership. Without partners who sup-port the membership of Rotary, we would not be able tomaintain and grow our wonderful club.

The RC of Seminyak (Bali) donated $6000 for the pur-chase of 600 Mosquito nets which were sent to Sabu.
A donation was made to support education of two chil-dren to the Cambodian Children against Starvation andViolence Association (CCASVA)

A Team of six Rotarians (four from Beaumaris and twofrom North Brighton) visited Sabu Island in Oct/Nov2012. Plans to improve the sanitary situation were es-tablished and a plantation of Vetiver grass was estab-lished. Furthermore we inspected the building progress of a new house for teachers accommodation donated by RCBeaumaris.
This trip resulted in a much closer co-operation betweenRC Beaumaris and RC North Brighton who consequentlyhave pledged regular donations to our Club over the nextthree years.
We have contacted other overseas Rotary Clubs with theaim obtain additional donations for our Sabu Student
support program.

New Generations has always been an area of service
which has been well supported by our Club, and I’mpleased to report that 2012 -13 has been another suc-cessful year for New Gens.
Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) is a 6-day leader-ship programme held in July each year for community-minded youth. We had little time to look for a suitablecandidate for the 2012 assembly so agreed to sponsor aleader instead. I’m very happy to report that SallieGeary, who is well known to our Club from her participa-tion in NYSF and various events, will be attending RYLAin 2013 at the YMCA camp at Myrniong. We will have hercome along after the camp to let us know all about it.
Our Club has a long association with the Beaumaris cam-pus of Sandringham Secondary College, and we haveheld mock job interviews with the Year 10 students thereon an annual basis for many years. As we are all awarethe campus is in the middle of much uncertainty at pre-sent, leading to dwindling enrolments at all year levels,and we did not hold the interviews in 2012.
Given the uncertainty around the future of the Beaumariscampus we are looking at developing relationships other
schools in the area, and approached Mentone Girls Sec-ondary College to look to establish an Interact Clubthere. The school was positive about it, but on the basisthat a female leader was appointed from our Club. Weunderstand their reasons for this, but our Board agreedthat it would be difficult to provide a firm ongoing com-mitment in this regard and we decided that it would beprudent not to pursue Interact at MGSC at this time if wecould not assure the school that we could fuldill our com-mitment.
Mentone Girls has always actively encouraged their stu-dents to attend National Youth Science Forum (NYSF),held over 2 weeks each year in Canberra for year 11/12science students. This year our Club sponsored OliviaTunks and Liza Onat to attend the Forum.
The Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) is a wonder-ful programme, where year 10 students from schools at-tend the Victorian Parliament building over a weekend inearly May. The students form teams of two and repre-sent a country and debate issues of global significance onbehalf of their country. We sponsored a team from Kil-breda College this year, and some of our membershelped in the running of the event. I encourage anyone
interested to volunteer to help on the day if given theopportunity – it is amazing to see, and wonderful to hearthe debates evolve.
We will be carrying on with many of these programmesthis year, and I look forward to our team getting stuck inagain to participate as much as we can to help our youthfulfil their potential.

In keeping with our strategic objective of raising ourprofile within the community, the club has assisted atnumerous events this year, namely:
- The 6th annual ‘Mental Health AwarenessWalk’ held in October 2012, where the club pro-vided hot and cold drinks for all the participantsin this community event. The aim of the daywas to reduce the stigma of mental illness andto raise awareness of ‘Act, Belong, Commit’ forour own mental health.
- The Bayside Youth Services ‘Skate Jam’ atDonald McDonald Reserve in Beaumaris. Thisfree event, aimed at 10 – 25 year olds providedmusic, skating, refreshments and giveaways,and was enjoyed by all. Getting young peopleto be involved and active in community eventsis an effective way of promoting good mentalhealth and it was great to see the older skatershelping and encouraging the younger ones.Our members cooked up a heap of sausagesand helped give out refreshments and givea-ways/prizes (thanks to our friends at MIND).
- The Dog’s Breakfast at Ricketts Point; One of the most important features of Beaumaris is thewonderful Rickett’s Point Marine Sanctuary,protected home of many marine plants and ani-mals. In January Parks Victoria conducted aseries of events called ‘Summer by the Sea’ topromote the park and educate the public aboutthe local habitat – and also to encourage sensi-ble dog walking in this delicate environment.Beaumaris Rotary club were asked to help at
the event in January, providing man power tomake this run smoothly and provide catering.Five of our members assisted at this event
- The February 2013 – BlackRock Playground Opening, Seven members of the club helped out at the official opening of this renovation. It has gone from a being atired and neglected looking space to a brand-spanking-new pirate themed park, with fencing,landscaping, bike racks and play equipmentplus the original barbeques dontated by theclub. Over 300 sausages and onions werecooked up by the club and handed out to thevisitors, which, along with party entertainmentmade this a very happy, and enjoyable localcommunity event.
- The Beaumaris Christmas Fair, where the clubwas out in force to provide man-power to helpwith the running of this large local communityevent. The concourse was closed from trafficwith rides, entertainment, interesting stalls andshops and lots of food and drink making a won-derful festive atmosphere!
The club has continued this year with our support of

The club also donated 60 shoeboxes to Operation

ON TO CONFERENCE
Well, what a fantastic con-ference! If you thought
the previous ones were
good, think again. Some
highlights.
Wednesday, ploughman’s lunch at Fowles Wine at
Avenel, then on to Wangaratta Golf Club for a lazy nine
holes, followed by dinner at Watermarc on the river.
Thursday we fielded 15 players for the Conference Golf
Day, plus Greg Penaluna from Noble Park as a substi-
tute Beaumaris Rotarian, which made up about 45% of the field for a fun 2-ball ambrose, followed by drinks
and BBQ. Second prize was won by David and Di Hone.
Well done to John Williams and Gary Amott from RC
Noble Park for organising a fantastic day.
The conference got underway at 1pm Friday at the fab-
ulous Wangaratta Performing Arts Centre, with around500 attendees from the 50 odd Clubs in the District.
DG Brian had decided on a low-key, no-fuss style which
was much appreciated by many. The format, extended
breaks, excellent speakers, entertainment and the en-
thusiasm of the attendees made for a great conference.
I have never seen so many seats continue to be filled
throughout the Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday
morning sessions.
Trying to summarize, Brian Tydin was a wonderful MC
as always, we were entertained on several occasions by
a fantastic Magician/comedian Jonathan Usher from NZ,who is a Rotarian and DG Nominee as well as a profes-
sional magician and successful businessman. The
speakers included an Artist, six Rotary partners who
went to India for the 24 hour mass child Polio immun-
isation program, a talk on cyber bullying, insights into
this year’s Chelsea Flower Show contribution from Aus-
tralia, talks about how health promotes peace, and how
diet can influence anxiety and depression, especially in
children, an insight into how the Foundation grants will
work, and many other enthralling topics. Of these our
very own Kerrie Geard was on stage with the Australian
GSE team, who demonstrably showed the benefits of
this wonderful Rotary program.
Friday night started off with pre-dinner drink drinks
(G&T’s) courtesy of David and Joy Lea, followed by
more pre-dinner drinks and nibbles provided by Pres
John and Sue, Heather and others, then a walking bus
to café Martini Restaurant. Our Club entertained Chel-
sea, Hampton and Huntingdale Clubs as well as the 35
of our own Club, a total of 59.
Saturday Night’s District Gala Dinner, under a huge
marquee in the Park, was all about fun, food, wine anddancing, with two great bands playing Irish and tradi-
tional dance music till the wee small hours.
On behalf of the Club, I would like to congratulate DG
Brian Martin and Sue, and the huge team who put the
conference together, for a wonderful, entertaining,
thought provoking and enlightening conference.

President’s Cup Golf Car Parking Huntingdale
Car parking at Huntingdale was once again organised by
Roy and Pat Seager. They and their team of helpers are
to be commended for their efforts on the day. Pat and
Roy once again were there at 5:30am to marshal the
troops and make sure all activities were covered. They
did not leave until 6pm.
Sausage Sizzles at Bunnings Mentone - 24 Decem-
ber 2012 and 17 June 2013
The December event was organised by Susan De Bolfo,
Charmaine Jansz and Judi Hall. As first timers they did a
great job getting the event organized on the day. A
special thanks to Charmaine who was the “official gofer”
for the day and returned several times to Southland on
Christmas Eve and her home to bring and buy more sup-
plies as it was a very busy selling day.
The June event is being held on a Monday as a trial by
Bunnings and as it is not a public holiday it is not antici-
pated to be very busy. As Bunnings have been very
good to the Club providing dates it was felt we should
assist them with this trial.
Mayoral Charity Golf Day at RMGC
Jim O’Brien and team helped the RC of Sandringham with
the Mayoral Charity Golf Day at Royal Melbourne. It was
a very successful day that like last year was fully booked
out and had excellent sponsorship from local communi-ties. The weather was terrific and already some players
have indicated they will be returning again to next year’s
event. An excellent effort by Jim and his team of help-
ers.
The Great Gatsby Film Night
Around 60 members, partners and friends attended the
opening night of the film at the Dendy Brighton. Thanks
go to Heather for following through with this event as
Susan went on holidays in May. Heather organised and
prepared food and liaised with the Dendy Brighton Thea-
tre. Also thanks to those who donated raffle prizes for
the night. The night raised $1000.
People’s Choice Community Lottery
The Credit Union made contact with James Glenwright in
January 2013 and he passed on details to Susan. The
Club, after suitable investigation agreed to order 135
books at $2 a ticket and 260 prizes. All costs for prizes
and printing are borne by the Credit Union. Nearly all
members have taken 3 books to sell. All profits, $2700,
from the sale of the tickets will come back to the Club in
September. Thanks to all members for taking on thisfundraising activity.

What makes a club successful, keeps the members inter-ested and returning week after week? Ron Burton, in-coming Rotary International President wrote that he once
considered leaving Rotary. Less than a year and a half after joining Ron claimed that attending weekly meetingswere a waste of his time, that the food was ordinary andthe program not that great.
The same cannot be said of Beaumaris. The interestingprogram, the fellowship, fun and camaraderie at meet-ings, the other activities; theatre nights, golfing after-noons and weekends and nights at good local restaurantshas providing plenty of opportunity for members to enjoythe social aspects of Rotary whilst contributing their timeto raise money and support the various directors in awide range of local and international activities.
To run a club in this fashion requires a dedicated team;often behind the scenes.
In 2012 – 13 Tony Phillips as sergeant, controlled themeetings with a good joke and an interesting quiz. Everymember and guest had the opportunity to win chocolates(usually dispersed amongst their table and rarely beingtaken home) with questions that became increasingly
harder which required (more often than not) sheer luckto pick the right option.
Tony continues to insure that the clubs accounts are cor-rect in his role as auditor and this year completed a reg-ister of the clubs assets. This will be regularly main-tained by the Sergeant each year.
David Hone had a wide range of speakers including;Yvonne Beadle and How to Run a Spellathon, Peter VanRompaey spoke about the Lort Smith Animal Hospital, weheard about a People Smuggler, Collaborative Law, Emo-tional Intelligence, Chris De Fraga explained how to AvoidFatal Car Accidents, Rod Ingham spoke with passionabout the Yarra River, Oscar Yildiz spoke about a Bully
Free Australia and Brooke Squires blew us away with herstories of saving the white Rhinoceros. David also main-tained the duty roster and keeps members up to datewith the club calendar.
Newsletter editor and webmaster DavidLea has continued to improve both aswell as setting up the clubs social media.
David always finds interesting articlesand great photos.
Heather Chisholm kicked off the fellowship program byarranging a Tropical in July night at Cerebus (apart fromthe appropriately tropical attire worn by members andguests there was nothing tropical about the night withfreezing gale force winds causing havoc when everyonearrived). We attended Hope Springs Eternal at Dendytheatre and the Vicar of Dibley at Beaumaris. Golfingweekends included 13th Beach and Cape Schank, barbe-ques and 9 holes at Victoria and Royal Melbourne and wedined at both Cafe 3193 and 6 Keys. All fellowships were
well attended.
Greg Every maintained an excellent relationship with Vic-toria Golf Club whilst organising the attendance numbers.This is a difficult role as often some members will notturn up after booking whilst others will turn up withoutadvising anyone.
Harry Wolfe was the Almoner for the first half of the yearbut after moving to Mt Eliza found the role a little difficultto maintain and handed over to Antony Nixon. The roleof the Almoner is to keep an eye on the welfare andhealth of members and keep the club informed on anyproblems with members or their families.
John Beaty, David Lea and Greg Every also contributedthe bulk of the photo’s that adorn the newsletter and website.
A job well done by all the Club Service team
