Anne's Message 

We are another step closer to our goal of a net five increase in our membership numbers with the induction of our long-time friend Margaret Ross to our Rotary Club. Thank you Tony for introducing Margaret and to Cathy Bligh for agreeing to be her mentor. We were also pleased to welcome members of Margaret's family, Coral and Rob Kilvington and Nicholas Kilvington and his friend Joe, and Margaret’s good friends Gwen Stuchbury, and Alec and Glenda Witham. I do love having visitors!!
 

Chairman for the evening Svetlana introduced out guest speaker Suzanna Maxwell-Wright who told us about Vinnies afterschool reading program. Suzanna impressed us with her understanding of the learning environment children need and her commitment to all children getting a good start in life. There were many questions for Suzanna about the program.
 

Cathy Bligh informed us that the Fashion Parade will not be going ahead in March as planned. We had apologies from Rachel Furnell, Trevor Williams, Leon DeVilliers and George McLeod.At next week's meeting we will remember the Ash Wednesday Fires.
Many of us have vivid memories and it would be a good night to bring a friend.

MELBOURNE TO WARRNAMBOOL: 
A very big thankyou to the 10 members who joined me in volunteering as marshals last weekend.  It is not an arduous task and it is great to be a small part in making this iconic event the success it is. Maybe some more of you might consider putting your hand up next year.
 
HI-VIS VESTS: 
We are missing several vests and I ask if you could please check and see if you may have one lurking in a dark corner somewhere, (at home, in the car, at work, in the shed???). If you do find one, could you please check and see if it is clean and bring it back so we have a full complement of vests once more. Many thanks.
 
LIDS FOR KIDS: 
Please continue to bring along your washed milk bottle tops. Svet and her Girl guides are working with Lauren,  who came and spoke to us. You can give the lids to Svet or Judy. Bread tags are also still being collected.
 
SMALL CHANGE JAR: 
Many thanks to you all for your continued support of our fund-raising to END POLIO NOW. Your generosity has meant the jar has been getting very heavy and increasingly hard to carry. So Anne and Judy decided to empty it (over lunch followed by a visit to Decked out on Bank in Port Fairy  - πŸ‘—πŸ‘šπŸ‘’ - just joking!!!😁). The money has been stored safely and will be combined with any further donations prior to the usual "guessing" competition at the end of the year.

On this day in history,
 
In 1957,
The British TV broadcasters BBC and ITV ended a postwar policy in which there was no programming between 6:00 and 7:00 at night; known as the β€œtoddler's truce,” the break was designed to help parents put children to bed.
