President's Message
Posted by Mark Howlett

Thank you to all members for their patience and input as we work through the choice of venue. I expect that by the time you read this bulletin, the vote tally will be concluded. Members will be updated at the next meeting. This will allow us to get back to serving the community. Don’t forget March 3 for Clean-Up Australia Day and Glenferrie Road Festival stall.

 
Club Meeting Report - 20th February 2024 - Dr Elaine Pratley
Posted by Don Heath
Our Guest Speaker was Dr Elaine Pratley who spoke on “the pursuit of peace”. This was particularly relevant to us as one of our Rotary Foundation Areas of Focus is “Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention”.
 
Elaine knows Rotary well having been a Rotary Peace Fellow sponsored by the Wellington NZ Rotary club, as well as co-chair of a Rotary Foundation 24-hour Global Peace conference.
 
She grew up in New Zealand, is a lawyer and has represented the New Zealand Government as a Crown Prosecutor and as a multilateral negotiator with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

End Trachoma Project - Toiletry Bags
Posted by Alex Marshall
Our Community Group has joined many other Rotary Clubs in this worthwhile project to provide toiletry bags for Indigenous Communities in northern Australia. We have committed to providing 56 toiletry kits and we are well underway with the collection of various items. We are extremely grateful to Ian Dobson who has given the project a real fillip. His staff at Dobsons have sewn 60 bags from a variety of differently patterned cottons. Many thanks to Ian and staff for their very generous contribution.
Clean Up Australia Day
Posted by Alex Marshall
CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY: 9.30AM SUNDAY 3RD MARCH 2024
 
It would be great if as many members as possible were able to participate in our Club's Clean Up Australia event. In brief, as many will know, we spend 2 hours during the morning picking up rubbish in Patterson Reserve and surrounding streets.
 
Gloves and graspers are supplied, and a very pleasant BBQ follows the Clean Up. There is a sign-up page on the website under the Rosters tab within the Member Resources section. I look forward to seeing many of our members for a pleasant half day. 
 
Cheers
Alex Marshall
