Our 75th Anniversary Dinner

With our Club's 75th Anniversary dinner only 4 weeks away please don't forget to send thru your attendance or apology as our diaries tend to get a bit crowded and the time line to RSVP is only14 dates away !! As at today our President has only received 8 acceptances and two apologies out of a total of 58 Invitations sent out to our Club Members and Partners, so please send thru your RSVP's

Important: Old & New Photo's Wanted !!

With such important social events as our Clubs 75th Anniversary Dinner a highlight to such evenings is the time we take a look back at the people and events that made our Club, so to this end our Club President is desperately seeking assistance from all Club Members in their ability to provide photographs of time's gone by over the last 25 yrs. If you have any pics no matter of what image that can be compiled into a IT Photo display on the night, please send them thru via e-mail, but if you don't have pics on an IT device and you are willing to instrust your hard copy album into the safe hands of President Brian please inform him ASAP, as a photographic PPT takes a bit of time to " get it together".

New Member's Induction Ceremony

One of the events/ceremonies that is certainly "up there" at the highest level for any Rotary Club is the Formal Induction of a New Member, and at tomorrows evening's Club Meeting we have a very special occasion where will see three New Members formally inducted into The Rotary Club of Mornington. We will welcome Judy Benholz, Steve Perera and Cameron Guymer to join us as Mornington Rotary Members. This will certainly be a highlight at tomorrows Club Meeting.

Guest Speaker- Tomorrow Evening - MR Alwin Tan

Tomorrow evening our Club will host as our Guest Speaker Mr Alwin Tan who will provide a presentation Mens Health and all things Urology. For those who may not be familiar with Mr Tan I can assure you he is an extremely vibrant, energetic and passionate Medical Professional and to say the Alwin is a "dynamo" is a bit understated. His presentation should be very interesting and informative.

Presidents Report - 22nd March 2022

Good morning to all,

Last weeks- Cancelled Club meeting

With our cancelled Club Meeting Last week now behind us it brought home to me the need to have a “ backup plan “ for the many events / procedures we under take on a daily / weekly / monthly basis and this can be achieved over the coming few months, but there are times such as last week that all efforts to proceed may in vain. After rinhging around and speaking to quite a few of our seasoned Club Members I discovered that in the past 20 yrs or so that only once prior to last week was a Club Meeting held at the Mornington Golf Course which was subject to a lightning strike that cut short the Club Meeting.

The Shelter/Roof Over The Long Table

On the 10^th March 2022 via a formal letter on behalf of our Club I informed, (as a matter of accepted Business practice) the assigned Builders (Croft Wootton’s Construion of Mt Martha) of our Club’s ability to be able to provide funds the Shelter/ Roof Over The Long Table for our contribution per Quote No 1008. Since then only as recent as yesterday I also received communication via John Renowden, from Mr Brett Osborne at the Shire, informing that “ All Shire approvals are in place for the long table shelter project. These include DELWP, Cultural Heritage, Shire Planning Permits, and building permits. Now that all necessary permits and documentation has been finalised and will subsequently passed on to the Builders we will see, in the very near future, spades, shovels and the like “turning over soil“ in Mornington Park.
