Presidents Report

If anyone’s wondering what the Rotary week in the life of the

Beaumaris Rotary President looks like, it looks like this.

Tuesday 12th April: Board meeting at Beaumaris Sen-

ior Citizens rooms

Tuesday 14th April: District Golf day at Keysborough

Golf Club

Sunday 17th April: Car rally and BBQ at Beaumaris

High School site.

Monday 18th April: 2017/18 Board strategic meeting

None of this would be possible without the dedicated work of

so many members of the Club – Roy and James keep us tick-

ing over at the Board, our decisions recorded and our money

managed. Tony Phillips, after Robert’s initial work on it, got us

all organized for the District Golf day; Richard and Rewa, Da-

vid and Joy set up the car rally and then kept us in line, and

then Malcolm and his team are working hard on Monday night

setting us up for next year. And all the members keep coming

along and supporting everything we do; thanks to one and all.

At the Board meeting amongst matters discussed were;

• We would sponsor a couple of members to attend the

Rotary Leadership Institute

• We are going to set up a club US$ account to minimize

foreign exchange costs for our international projects :

thanks to Ken and James for continuing to battle away

on this issue

• Insurance and risk issues: we will need to be very aware

of these issues so that we are covered for members and

the community. Rotary Insurance is very good, but we

need to comply with the requirements to be effective.

We will be working further on this.

The next Board meeting date has been changed to Tues-

day 3rd May, any member is welcome to attend; we are

still at the Beaumaris Senior Citizens rooms.

At the Golf Day the specialized lingo of golf became ap-

parent to me, it truly reflects what our speaker from

Transparency International asked last week, “Were we a

golf club that had a Rotary Club as a subset?” Charmaine

Jansz and Richard Jones managed to keep our club

name to the fore (pun) even though we didn’t manage to

win any of the major prizes. At the end it was virtually

raining golf balls, I think nearly every golfer managed to

get at least one free golf ball. Wolf and I have now man-

aged to see another South Eastern Golf course, very pret-

ty Keysborough is, once you get off the road. The

Keysborough Club gave the District an extremely good

deal, several of the Noble Park Club were integral to the

management of the day and did a great job.

The Car Rally was great fun and required a degree of

local knowledge, not all of it could be googled. The pre

preparation was really good, timing good, degree of diffi-

culty just right and I think we all learnt something new

about our area. It was tremendous to have informal fel-

lowship afterwards, be able to pack up and then go home

for a rest. Thanks to those who picked up the BBQ and

returned it. It was classic Australian BBQ action, there’s a

very telling picture of many men clustered around the

BBQ worshipping the BBQd meat god. See photos on

page 3.

Next week our Local Member of Parliament Murray

Thompson is the speaker, Murray is a good friend of

Beaumaris Rotary so I look forward to seeing him and

hearing of his current issues and interests.

Thanks to you all for your dedication and commitment.

Best wishes to you all,

Yours in Rotary

The Temple of Valadier welcomes visi-

tors to a cave in the Frasassi Gorge in

Italy’s Marches region. The epony-

mous structure, designed by Italian

architect Giuseppe Valadier in the ear-

ly 1800s, was to be used as a retreat

for Christians seeking forgiveness,

earning it the nickname “refuge for

sinners.”
