We will be meeting St Bridget’s Hall in Crossley next week. Please let David know if you will be going / bringing a friend or 2 / or an apology.

Well Done
 
As chairman for the night Graeme introduced Adam Jones, an Undertaker  at Guyetts Eastern Park   
Adam came to undertaking after owning his own restaurant at Port Fairy. Adam spoke about his work, challenge’s and the respect they have when dealing with the bereaved families. His talk was extremely interesting with Rotarians asking lots of questions 
Most people have contact only with funerals parlour when some one dies.  So it’s a good opportunity to look through the funeral  parlour and have this experience.
And now we are off to Eastern Park.
 
 
 
 
 
Acting President Brian thanked our guests for coming and reminded everyone to check the roster for next week & to remember to go out to Crossley to St Bridgets for our net week’s meeting 
 
Thought for the Week:  "Someday is not a day of the week."
Have a great week & stay hydrated 💧💧💧
A MEMBERSHIP MOMENT
Let’s talk about friendship and camaraderie.

If every club could understand and appreciate what they can offer individuals in our
community then, the issues surrounding membership retention would correct themselves.

A survey conducted by Lifeline found that 80 per cent of respondents thought society was
becoming a lonelier place.

While social media certainly has its benefits in connecting loved ones across oceans and
maintaining friendships through time, nothing can replace eye contact, sharing a laugh
without the use of an emoji or giving someone a hug.

Are your fellow Rotarians just people you meet and do project with, or do you consider them
your friends and colleagues?

“Membership is Everyone’s Responsibility”
ROTARY RURAL MEETING
NOTICE ABOUT NEXT WEEK'S MEETING - John Beks
 
When in 2006 the century-old St. Brigid's church at Crossley was
decommissioned , the small local community set about raising enough
money to buy the church and hall, for the purpose of creating a
cultural and community centre.

They took on quite a large debt, requiring repayments of $25,000 a
year : yes! $25,000 !! And so far, with a lot of hard work by lots of
volunteers, they are managing, by organising monthly/and or weekly
musical and entertainment events (such as "15 MINUTES OF
FAME"), dance classes, weddings, funerals and such.

We, as a Rotary Club, can assist them, by , just for once, simply
moving next week's meeting and meal from the Warrnambool
Football Club to Crossley - at no extra cost to us!

Isn't that an example of the purpose of Community Service, by having
Rural/Urban Nights?

I hope most (if not all) members will attend, together with their
invited guests.

However, for catering purposes, members and guests are asked to
declare their intention to attend, by notifying me (John Beks)
within the next TWO days. Unless you have already signed the
attendance sheet, being circulated.
 
THIS WAS AN UNPAID COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.
DAYBREAK ROTARY HOMELESS PROJECT
Our club provides the following services for the homeless, or those in need, each Sunday between 3.00pm and 6.00pm:
 
  • Clothes washing and drying;
  • Showers and use of club’s towels;
  • Change of clothing (if required);
  • Hygiene packs (if required);
  • Small BBQ (sausages in bread);
  • Tea/coffee, biscuits; and
  • Sit around and have a chat whilst waiting for clothes/washing/drying.
 
Our base is Council’s Surfside 2 caravan park where we have use of a laundry, toilet block, shed with urn and fridge where we can store supplies, and an electric bbq. We feed the coins into the washing machines & dryers.
 
From Sunday 23rd December through to the second week in February we will need to relocate because of the opening of Surfside 2 to campers.
 
For the Summer period we will be temporarily relocating to the F Project building next door to the Timor Street laundrette (opp. IGA supermarket) where we hope to continue to provide the above services.
 
We roster on 2 males and 2 females each week and would love to welcome Rotary Club of Warrnambool members to assist with the project.
 
Any persons requiring further information can contact Daybreak’s co-ordinator for the project, Glenn Rundell, Email: reeandglenn@hotmail.com, or ph 0417 031 943.
 
It is proposed to run a 5 week roster, updated fortnightly and have 2 Daybreak Club Rotarians and 2 Warrnambool Club Rotarians on duty each week.
 
Please find on next page the roster commencing Sunday 13 January. Could RC of Warrnambool co-ordinator please place names & email addresses in spaces provided and return to Glenn. Glenn will email those on roster a couple of days beforehand as a reminder.
 
Many thanks
Regards
Glenn Rundell
