Club Projects
With our Club now in the midst of another busy second half of the 2022/2023 Rotary Year we have a fair bit of movement within our Community Projects.
As we heard from Ross Kilborn at last week’s Club Meeting there is a great amount of current and proposed Projects, we all need to consider and instigate. For those who were unable to attend I will send out, (in a separate e-mail correspondence attachment) for your perusal, a very comprehensive PPT Presentation that Ross provided, which I would very strongly encourage all Members to read and more importantly engage in with each other over the next few weeks so we can progress and gets things happening.
Just to mention a few of the major items that were presented, as:
- Bays Hospital
- Community Support Centre
- Men’s Shed
- Active Transport Map – Council Grant X
- Gateway Park – Community Place Making Grant
- Peninsula Trail – Moorooduc Station to Mornington
- Mornington Railway & Park Precinct
- Hunters Crossing
- Santa Train Trip – booked for Sat the 2nd Dec 2023
- Australian Rotary Health – PHD Scholarship
Of all these Projects without a doubt the immediate upcoming project being the Moondah Project will be of great significance and is the focus of the Club, as a whole, within the next six weeks, and as this project progress’s just like our own Art Show, it will be happening very shortly, so to all please get on board and if your free join in and help out, a few hours of your time is all that is needed to make this a success.
Invited Guests at Club Meetings
Our new President Elect is “up and running” in the sense of being very proactive within the item that was presented at a number of Club Meetings Late last year of “all members to invite a guest along to a Club Meeting”. It was very pleasing a a great outlook to the future to see Pam being along two Guests over the past few weeks in Julia and Faye. Well done Pam !!
9820 District Conference – Cape Schanck
Our very recent 9820 District Conference has just concluded, yesterday, and for those Club Members and Partners who attended, what a fantastic weekend, this was my third District Conference that I have attended at the one thing that initially “stood out” for me was the great venue. The RACV Resort at Cape Schank is very, very impressive. The whole weekend was very entertaining, informative and the setting and especially the company and fellowship of all Rotarians was extremely warm and inviting.
We were privileged to be endowed with an amazing and inspiring array of presentations and the theme for this year’s conference was Leadership in Action.
We heard from a young and inspiring couple who are developing and researching the alternative’s in Cling Wrap with some ground-breaking advances in Food / Potato waste to one day eventually replace Cling Wrap and Plastic Packaging with a green environmentally friendly product that is completely biodegradable in both land and ocean.
We heard from our own Ross K, who’s very passionate and professional presentation in regards to the Peninsula Trail was meet with extreme interest by all participants and was very widely accepted as one of Rotaries Peninsula Cluster Project of major foresight and planning for the future, that will endow our Mornington Peninsula as one of The Great Bike/ Walking Trails in The World !!!
One particular highlight over the Weekend was the very special Keynote Speaker in Kevin Sheedy. His presentation was indeed very, very informative and was very entertaining via a number of real-life amazing stories of “never take no for an answer “and his philosophy of when someone says "no" to him this means “yes” !!!
In all a great weekend of informative presentations, fun, laughter, some great wine and food all in a very impressive setting accompanied by a cast of fantastic people all focused on improving our region, Australia and the World in which we live in.
