Last Monday the Club held its second online Club meeting using the Zoom app. There were more than 30 members who joined the meeting - a fantastic effort.

 

The night held special significance as it was the celebration of the Club's 33rd anniversary of its being chartered in 1987. Helen Hartnett gave a us a short history of the Club's beginnings, developments and achievements over the years. We also had a short video in part using footage from the event at Box Hill Golf Club where the Club held its 30th anniversary celebrations.

 

We had an online quiz session where Cathie Macmillan asked very challenging questions focusing on potatoes, bees and the Philippines. Tony Laycock took out the prize with an unbelievable score of 7 correct answers.

 

Other matters of interest included:

 

 

 

 

 

Doug Hawley announced during our on-line meeting that the Club had received two very generous donations.

 

The Club has a facility setup through Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS)  where tax deductible donations can be  made.

 

One donation of $30000 will be used for the Club's FORaMEAL project and the second donation of $19000 will be used for the Philippines Eye and Ear Project.

 

These donations, both from the same generous family, are very significant and hugely appreciated and will enable these projects to go from strength to strength.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In these long days of isolation everyone needs to find even small ways to keep themselves on the up and up.

 

Club member David Zrna and his wife Bronwyn took advantage of the recent sunny weather by having a Tim Tan slam in the backyard. Well done.
