Hello all. I hope you have all found a way to deal with the heat, perhaps the last fierce expression of summer?

I thought to summarise to all members this week our new meeting arrangements. We are now normally meeting at Kooyong on the 2^nd, 4^th and 5^th Tuesday of each month. The normal dinner is what Kooyong calls the Chef’s special main course followed by the nibbly cakes we have been having in the past. Once per month we will have what Kooyong calls a Pasta/Risotto meal, also followed by nibbly cakes. Please also note that once you have booked, Kooyong is unable to offer a refund if you cannot attend.

Don’t forget that this Tuesday 12^th is the always delightful fellowship BBQ on the terrace to which many partners are always attending.

Last Years BBQ - PP Mark Ellis, Janet Ellis &  Helena Wimpole

The annual seven-day ROCAN cycling event is in Tasmania this year from 2nd – 8th March 2024. Rotarians Mark Ellis and Thelma Hutchison and Non-Rotarian, but significant other Andrew Rothfield, will challenge themselves to complete the short course (700kms in 7 days). (Note: the long course is 1,000kms in 7 days designed for the younger, fitter, and faster cyclists in the group). This event was founded by the Rotary Club of Williamstown and has been running for twenty years, raising funds to increase community awareness of ovarian cancer, and to support research for an early screening test for the disease. 

Two past presidents, Mark Ellis and Thelma Hutchison, take a well-earned break on their marathon ride for ROCAN
