WELCOME
Ian Cairns
Andrew Edgar was our planned guest for tonight but there was a bit of a misunderstanding. He is speaking at the Rotary Club of Colac tonight and not with us.  We will have a quiz tonight instead with a magnificent prize.
 
Invocation and toast Paul Forbes.
 
Michael Boyd acting president. President Trevor away tonight.
 
We welcomed the following guests:
Rotaract - George McLeod, Tim Pearson and Lizzy Smith.
Club guests - Toni Edere, exchange student (Ben is at a birthday party tonight).
Members guests - Stephen’s guests Peter and Jan Bedson; Kay Furnari (Svet’s friend, introduced by Judy.)
 
Michael called for nominations for anyone wishing to be on the board for next year. All positions are vacant and current board members can nominate. Meeting in November.
 
Raffle subcommittee meeting after tonight's meeting.
 
There will be a quiet chat and gathering after Rotary meetings in the bar each week. Everyone welcome. No need to rush off after meetings.
NOTICES
Rachel - thank you to those who supported the Diabetes walk.
Tony, Ian and Judy for BBQ on Sunday morning. Raised $203.50?
 
Terry - Mental health month in October. The 10th is World mental health day.  Jane Fitzgibbon and John Parkinson guest speakers next week on ‘Let's talk’. Stickers on table - take some stickers home.
All wear a hat next meeting and donations for ‘Lift the Lid’ in support of World Mental Health Day.
 
Sharon - Many of you, especially our newer members, may not be aware that we have a club historian in Ian Sharman. Ian has been quietly beavering away over the years recording some pretty significant history for the Club, including personal milestones for members.
It was recently agreed to protect all this information from being lost, it would be filed in our club’s administrative software, Clubrunner which is ‘cloud’ based and supposedly will not get lost.
So over the last few months Ian has spent many, many hours filing each Rotarian’s history into Clubrunner. He has also provided a ‘link’ in everyone’s personal information so you can see for yourselves the information Ian has gathered on you. I’m hoping this will tempt you to have a look in Clubrunner.
 
  • To get to this information log into the member section of Clubrunner (which is our internet). https://portal.clubrunner.ca/1969
  • Go to Active Member list - on the right hand side of the admin section.
  • Click on the Biography tab at the top, then go to your history which is in the last window titled ‘private biography’. Only you and the web administrator can see this.
  • Come and see me if you aren’t sure how to get into Clubrunner or forgotten your password.
     
     But there’s more…
     
    Not only has Ian ensured the safety of current members’ information, he has gone back through our records to 1929, the year the Club was chartered and entered those members whose records went too far back to come across to Clubrunner when it was initially introduced. Many of these members have passed away or left, but having the information recorded into our history is quite valuable and ensures our records go back to the beginning.
     
    In all Ian has added and entered the history (that he has been able to obtain) for nearly 490 Rotarians (including the current 48 members) and I would like to congratulate Ian on taking the initiative and doing all the work for the Club.
     
    Thank you Ian for your extremely valuable contribution to our Club.
