Mornington Rotary has a team entered and we would like you to join us OR make a donation towards our target of raising $2500. I will donate $50 for every club member who sleeps in their car, in their tent or on the couch that night. And if you don’t want to do that - here is the link to donate to our team now !
Next two weeks speakers
This week (22nd) on Zoom we have ‘Meet Molly King”. Recall Molly is the Indigenous Student we have sponsored for the first two years of her medical degree through Australian Rotary Health. It’s at 6pm at
The following week (29th) we hope to have Gemma and Caitlin from Fusion who will tell us more about Fusion and give us a virtual tour of their facility. Same time, same channel!
Ted & Philippa Moore. I saw Ted last Friday when he was returning from the Bays, where Philippa had been readmitted for what he called another minor operation. He seemed optimistic about her recovery but expected her to be there for at least a few days.
Zoom Meeting with Michael McQueen
Last week I attended a District 9705 (NSW) webinar via Zoom. Michael is an acknowledged corporate Keynote Speaker and I felt fortunate to hear him speak, free of charge, through the Rotary network, and the now embraced Zoom technology. His topic – kick starting your organisation after the crisis. You can view it via the link on their District homepage. It was very good. https://www.rotary9700.org.au/
District 9820 Avenues of Service
Zoom also enabled the District Avenues of Service to be delivered on line and we heard from Judy about the sessions she attended. John R also attended the Youth session last Sunday and has some very comprehensive notes available if you are interested. You can also view any of the sessions via the District You Tube channel, at any time as below. I think one of the benefits of this crisis is the availability of all this material so conveniently, though you do not get to meet other Rotarians and hear what other clubs are up to.

Annual Report
Our Annual Report for the last year is now complete and available on our Club’s Website, under the menu tab Members Only. I now have some printed, for distribution when we can again meet. If you would like one sooner, email or call me and it will appear in your letterbox.
Please take the time to read it. I think all members should be very pleased and proud to be part of a club that has done so much in an unusual year.
That Significant Community Project Search
Yes, it’s still going strong, with a very productive meeting with Council last week, and another with Fusion that you will hear more about at our members meeting on the 29th.
Cluster Presidents Meeting
The Cluster Presidents met on Sunday. It was a chance to catch up on what everyone else is up to…..very similar to us it seems! It was chaired by new Assistant Governor, and Past Mount Martha President, Peter Rawlings. The major item of business was the endorsement of the Bay Trail as a joint Centenary Project, though the exact form of our involvement is to be determined. A working group has been formed to progress this. Can we have a volunteer please to represent Mornington?
