Projects: Lea Paton
Australia Day and Carols went off exceptionally well. Another prime example of the Rotary team in action providing fantastic events for our community.
The Nossal High School cultural and food festival has been supported by the board. Planning is yet to commence.
Youth Exchange Student Lisa has settled in well to Jenny & Steve Randall’s home and seems to be enjoying her stay in Australia.
Cemetery Cleanup – heaps of work done and great fellowship was enjoyed by all who attended. Funno and Alf should be commended for all their organisational efforts.
School Interviews – Nossal High School have requested interviews with their Year 11 Students during the week of 21st – 24th March 2017. There is a large number and David Collyer suggested enlisting the assistance of the Rotary Club of Narre Warren.
Vocational Visits need to be arranged.
MUNA: is on the 5-7th May. Schools will be contacted.
NYSF: Have not heard from the student we sent away in January.
RYPEN: Anticipated late May 2017 (based on 2016 timing)
Mental Health Training: The Club has paid for the training of a Trainer and received half our payment back through a Mental Health grant. The inaugural Mental Health First Aid Training session had four RCB sponsored participants at P3 Sports and Recovery. All reports indicate that our Trainer did a great job. Future sponsorship of training is expected to give local sporting clubs the opportunity to have their own leaders qualified in Mental Health First Aid. A huge thank you to Viv and Jim for their tireless efforts in getting this important project up and running.
RYLA: Tom Mikolajewski gave a report on his experiences at the October RYLA Camp at the last December meeting.
RYDA Road Safety Education Program: We were approached to sponsor the students from Berwick College. The Board agreed to contribute to their students’ attendance cost to the value of $5.00 per student. We have had no further correspondence since September 2016.
Christmas Cakes & Pudding Orders: Along with members orders we donated cakes and puddings to the Benevolent Society who passed them on to CNCISS for their Christmas Hampers. Value = $562.50 including $210.40 donation from RCB. Total RCB profit on member orders = $177.10 meaning the donation to RCB effectively only cost the Club $33.30. Total donation to Foundation made on behalf of RCB by RC Melton = $192.00
