From the Editor
 
Good morning to my fellow Mornington Rotarians, partners and families. Well after a short " absence from The Ring of Steel " I have just returned from regional Victoria having spent some five days in the beautiful Upper Murray Valley at the foot of the Snowy Mountains, and it was great to visit family.  For those who have also ventured out of Metro Melbourne I hope your excursion was enjoyable and relaxing.
 
 
Unfortunately our first proposed Social Gathering at the Long Table, last Wednesday evening, was interrupted by the weather but not to worry we can all look forward to getting together next week for our annual Mornington Rotary Club Christmas Dinner. All the details are contained in the Information Flyer, as shown below. Well done Eileen.

Club Social Event - Christmas Dinner - Wednesday 25th November 2020
 
After the dissapointment of last weeks Long Table picnic which was to be our first social get together since way back in January it is very, very pleasing to announce our Club will be conducting its Annual Christmas Function. Yes we have gone or should I say " skipped ahead " from January all the way thru to Christmas to finally gather as Members and Partners in a face to face social setting. Well done Eileen, our Social Officer along with the support of Ross,  for your efforts that will finally see our Club Come together to " see out 2020 " and share in what should be a great end of year function, see you all there !

President’s Report – 17th November 2020

Meeting ID: 927 056 436 Password: 294331
 
Next week the 25th we have the promised social night – Christmas Dinner. Eileen has sent you all the details and we really would like to see everyone including partners come along. It’s a 2 course dinner at the Mornington Golf Club. But you need to RSVP to Eileen by Thursday morning. 
Eileen is in contact with the Mornington Hotel about when we might be able to resume there. Hopefully we will be back there for December. 
 
Some important member welfare updates. 
Ted Moore,  Ted’s immediate plan is to travel to Brisbane, via Sydney, with his daughter, Lucy.
 
Rod Birt Rod has left Nicholas Lynch.
 
Betty Corke,  Dennis is hoping Betty will be discharged to their home in Melbourne by the weekend, and they are likely to be there for a while. 
 
Cluster Presidents Meeting. On Sunday morning I attended the Cluster Clubs’ Presidents’ Meeting. It is always good to hear what other clubs are doing. Some have already resumed face to face meetings, some are continuing with Zoom, on alternate weeks. Some have attracted new members and some have done successful fund raising on line. All are starting to get back to their normal projects and activities.  
 
District Annual General Meeting Following that meeting I attended the District 9820 AGM. Over 50 others attended, via Zoom, and by using Video for the past District Governors Report, and on line polling it was very efficient and effective. There is nothing else significant to report, except to Welcome Bill Degnan as next year’s District Governor.
 
Mornington Community Information and Support Centre & Christmas. Nicholas Lynch Real Estate is currently preparing the promotional posters for the collection of Christmas presents via their offices and Toyworld in main st. Toyworld are also offering the 10% discount again for purchases that go to the community. 
 
Australia Day 2021 Nationally the Australia Day Council has made available around $1.5m for Rotary Clubs to help local communities celebrate Australia Day. We have applied to run a morning tea / coffee adjacent to the Art Show.
