Connecting Communities - Peninsula Voice 
On Thursday evening last week the Peninsula Voice hosted an open public forum aimed at highlighting the social issue of loneliness and isolation and providing real life community based interaction.  The theme of the evening was “ Connecting Communities “ .
 
The forum was held at in the Peninsula Community Theatre on Wilsons Road.
 
The evening saw a dozen Mornington Peninsula Community and Volunteer Organizations attend in which they all provided hands on interaction in the form of one on one advise and an array of literature highlighting the services that can offer as part of an integrated community involvement.
 
The Rotary Club of Mornington was represented by John Renowden and Brian Mann.
 
Three high profile gust speakers, Dr Michelle Lim, Chair of the Australian Coalition to End Loneliness Scientific Advisory Committee, Rebecca Lee, Senior Advisor from Beyond Blue and Tim Costello, A leading Voice on Social Justice, attended the forum and each presented a very informative and thought-provoking exposition on the subject of loneliness and isolation.
 
The forum was very well attended with an audience of some 220 members of the public
 
President's Report's
 
At this week’s Club Meeting - we have Mr Andrew Plympton as our guest speaker. We have a number of guests so if you intend bringing one please ensure you register them via the link on the side of this Bulletin, or on the website, or let Eileen know ASAP. Also if you are a Mornington Rotary Club Member and will not be attending this week’s meeting please also let Eileen know as we are short on space. We don’t want to have to decline anyone at the door as seats will be very limited.
 
Our Board meeting last week covered lots of good ground. Too much to cover here so our meeting on Nov 20, will cover it in a Club Business / Assembly meeting. We will also induct our four new members at this meeting, Leigh Power (renewing), Joe Siragusa, Rod Birt and Nicolas Lynch. (unless anyone objects !) 
 
Thanks to John and Brian who represented us last week at a Peninsula Voice Forum and all the crew who had a huge day at a Bunnings BBQ on Sunday, filling in at short notice. Well done David in pulling it together.
 
Club Polo Shirts at this week’s meeting I will hand around an order form for cotton polo shirts, in Royal Blue with the Mornington Rotary Club logo on the left chest. If you would like to order one they are $30. I will be placing the order next Thursday, so if you won’t be at the meeting and would like one please call or email me.
 
 
Regards
 
Ross
