Presidents Report
THURSDAY FEBRUARY 2
MUSIC QUIZZ
CHAIR: JOHN MANKS
AV: DAVID LEA
CASH DESK: LYNDA DOUTCH & JOHN BEATY
HOST: MIKE HEDE
I hope everyone has had a good break from Rotary and enjoyed the holiday season. Due to a number of factors it was a
longer break than usual. But now we are back!
The meeting this coming week will be our first regular meeting
since our Christmas Party on the 15 December. But to ease
you all back into things the meeting will take the form of a musical quiz, similar to the very successful event we ran early last
year. Greg Every will again be the quizmaster ably assisted by
Rewa Jones and Adrian Culshaw with Ken Mirams again the
compere. Anyone who came along last year will know that this
will be a fun night so I suggest you book yourself and your
partner in early.

Thanks to all who volunteered for the January Farmers Market.
Though stallholder numbers were down a little, and also the
gate takings, considering the time of year it was a very creditable outcome. But to ensure that we quickly build the numbers
up again we will be distributing flyers to letterboxes in the Mentone, Cheltenham and Parkdale areas. Flyers (in bundles of
100) will be available for pick up this Thursday together with a
map of a designated area.

CLUB FORUM
CHAIR: ROBERT MCARTHUR
AV: ADRIAN CULSHAW
CASH DESK: MARRY CUDDINGTON & PETER FLUDE
HOST: DAVID HONE
Included in this edition are details of a social media workshop
on the 16 February. The Beaumaris Community Bank has
offered for one of our members to attend for free. Though we
have a presence on social media in the form of our Facebook
page, we are not yet taking full advantage of its potential.
Please give me a call if you would consider taking on the role
of our social media champion (and go along to the workshop).
Through a separate email, I advised you of the Rotary Leadership Institute which is being held in February. The club is keen
to get members to attend this course, especially those new to
Rotary. The course provides a very good insight into the way
Rotary operates and how you to play your part.
Next Friday sees many members, partners and friends gathering at Mirboo North for our annual golf week-end. Even if the
golf disappoints the fellowship never does.

Elsewhere in this edition of In Gear is an invitation to join Brighton North Rotary at their meeting on 1 March to hear
Gemma Sisia speak. As many of you would know from presentations made previously at District conferences, Gemma is the founder and driving force behind St Judes school in Tanzania. Hers is a remarkable story and I would encourage anyone who has not heard her speak to go along on.
Finally, a reminder that the District Conference is coming soon. Please make Trish Smyths life a little easier and advise her when you have registered and of your accommodation requirements in Geelong. Remember also to advise
her if you intend playing golf at the Not the District Golf Day on the preceding Thursday. Trish needs to finalise the
details very soon.
Yours in Rotary

GUIDING LIGHT

Your Shot.
Soft morning sunlight,
which has managed to
penetrate the thick mist
over the Mont Blanc summit, serves as a guiding
light for two climbers. The
Mont Blanc massif straddles the border of France
and Italy. At about 4800
metres, its summit is the
highest peak in the Alps.
