Stories
Last weeks meeting
A relatively slow news week it seems
 
John McCaskill, as chair for the night provided us with a number of "thoughts" which were relevant to our speaker
 
The first 2
 
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened”….Anatole France
 
AND
 
 
“Animals are such agreeable friends…they ask no questions and pass no criticisms” …. George Eliot
 
From the Pres
  • She advised the assembled members that George Dolezal had suffered a severe seizure during the week and was currently in hospital. Our thoughts and wishes go out to George and his family
  • The Pres is looking to set up a Wellbeing committee to make sure we stay in contact with our members especially those who cannot attend the meetings as often as they would like
  • Volunteers needed to man the raffle desk at the start of the meeting, please let her know
  • a reminder about the Education Chances Golf Day - the cause is good and as the editor has participated in one before he can attest to the fact that its a fun event
Matters in the interest of Rotary
  • Val provided an update on the recent packing event at Caulfield Grammar where 140 students packed 25000 meals - a great effort and worthy of a strong vote of thanks for the members who were able to assist on the day
 
 The club were the recipients at district changeover of a recognition of our contribution, through being a founder member, of Rotarians for Bees - congratulations to the R4Bees team and the club on this recognition
 
Last weeks speaker Pam Ahern - Edgars Mission
Further quotes from John as an introduction to Pam
 
“I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior” …. Hippolyte Tain
 
AND
 
 
“The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs” …. Charles de Gaulle
 
Last weeks speaker was Pam Ahern, founder and director of Edgars Mission - an animal shelter in Lancefield in Victoria. Pam spoke passionately about the sanctuary and how it came to be.
 
More notes from Anne
 
What if?
Pam Ahern, our speaker tonight, raised this question consistently throughout her presentation. What if we can lead a happy and healthy life without harming others? As she pointed out, "Animals have always been my greatest teachers". Her life changed when she met Edgar Allan Pig, and started Edgar's Mission, a location where she and her staff rescued farm animals from lives of drudgery and neglect.

An inspiring speaker, and a powerful one, she was once a gifted equestrian, who loved the experience that riding horses could provide for her. However, when someone told her, "You can't", she then proved that she could. Pam described the inadequacy of animal protection laws vividly. For example, chickens are bred to grow far more quickly than they should, which effects their health outcomes, depriving them of a quality way of life. In another demonstration of these faults, she referred to the dark side of breeding pedigree dogs and discussed how she had improved the way this process could take place. In another heavy statistic, Pam cited the example of five hundred million animals being bred for fibre and food. Indeed, she is expanding the circle of compassion in a very effective and positive way.

CHANCES Golf Day
The Covid shutdowns are an unhappy memory, the sun is shining and the grass is green, so its time to bring back the annual Education CHANCES Golf Day.
After two years in lockdown, we are holding this event again at the fabulous and friendly Box Hill Golf Club.
So why not gather up some mates and head out for a great day of golfing fun and Prizes and help out a worth charity at the same time?
 
RIMERN wine order
RIMERN Homemaker Wine orders
 
 
After its successful Van Rouge campaign, RIMERN is embarking on a new campaign - marketing quality wines towards funding a new delivery van to streamline operations.
 
The new campaign will reward RIMERN clients by providing photos of the donated goods in situ, in their new homes, and on RIMERN social media. This activity promotes RIMERN's services and demonstrates to clients, volunteers and donors (stakeholders), the quality of the goods available: a positive and inspiring image.
 
 
It’s Spring: time for a new life and a new beginning.
The new RIMERN wine promotion is called “Homemaker Voucher Vino”. Again, it will offer quality wines at a special cost. Funds raised will contribute to the Rewards scheme for the RIMERN clients who participate in the social media campaign. Funds will also contribute to the much-needed delivery van.
 
Rewards will consist of a $50 Coles Group & Myer Gift Card which can be redeemed by our clients in Myer, Target, Kmart, Coles, Liquorland, Vintage Cellars, First Choice Liquor Superstore or Officeworks. It allows the clients to add personalised touches to their new homes such as small items or goodies to entertain...

The wine selection is a new and exciting range produced by the well-known Yarra Valley winemaker Peter Fergusson with exciting premium options.
These are: -
·      South Australian 2021 Sauvignon Blanc 
·      Clare Valley 2020 Riesling 
·      Victorian 2021 Reserve Sangiovese Rosé
·      Yarra Valley 2018 Chardonnay
·      Yarra Valley 2019 Pinot Noir
·      Heathcote 2020 Shiraz
 
How do I order?
You can order a minimum of 6 bottles, but we raise $40 per dozen sold! Remember: for every purchase of a dozen wines from the above selection, $40.00 goes towards the purchase of the vouchers.
Peruse the offerings above and make your selection – there is a great selection to suit your palate.
