Presidents Report

As I pen my final weekly meeting report, and as usual, have my Chief Editor ensure I have all the commas and apostrophes in the right place, I know all the readers noticed that I never made a mistake in the reports for the whole year! It is time however to hand over the reins to Trish and you will be in very capable hands for the com-ing year. Those who heard her views on the club and the focus for the next 12 months, will be as-sured that it will be a very successful year for our club, members, partners and the community at large. Trish will be ably supported by Wolf, who has already supported the Club in so many ways. The past week has been very busy. Kerry, Chris and I attended the Bayside Cluster Primary School speech contest. Hearing ten young Year 6 stu-dents deliver flawless, humorous and engaging speeches, was so rewarding. They had no fear of public speaking and events like this, make you un-derstand why we have a focus on Youth in our pro-grams. Beaumaris North Primary took first and third place with excellent speeches from Nick Fitz-gerald and Maia Lafferty. McKinnon Primary’s Aan-ya Chopra won second place. Beaumaris Rotary will host this event in June 2016.

Sandringham Rotary held its changeover this week, and how pleasing it was to be there and witness another club recognise our own Jim O’Brien with a Paul Harris Fellow for his work with the Bayside

Mayoral Charity Golf Day. Well done Jim! It was good to see Tim Dark and Chris Werner back for their third visit to our club on Thursday and we hope you can stay engaged as we move into Trish’s year. As I bring this report to a close, I would like to again thank the Board, all our club members and partners for your support and helping make this year so successful. We have a great club and I know we will go on to do so much more in our community and in-ternationally. Finally I thank Shirley for her sup-port without which it would have been impossi-ble to cope with everything that happened dur-ing the year. Good luck Trish. I know you will “Do Great Things”

Speaker; President Elect Trish Smyth Topic; The Year Ahead

The following is a summary of Trish’s talk. Thanks to Ken, the current Board and all the members of the Club, for their vision, dedication and hard work. What’s changed for the coming year? The Farmers Market: will give us a solid financial base, greater financial resources and great community visibil-ity. With that comes: the need to ensure that we husband our most precious resource, your goodwill and your time, so that we can sustain our efforts. What this will mean? That we will look at the relative benefit versus the relative cost. Where we’ve come from: The 2014/15 year: with Ken and the leadership of every-one in the club we have achieved: • The commencement of the Farmer’s Market • Glo for Good : which proved the power of social me-dia • Local support for many organizations • Broadening of our funding base, allied with skilled direction, so that we are not relying on one or two fund raising efforts • Strong support for the island of Sabu For the coming year there are some trends/ some deci-sions about relative value/ some new initiatives to con-sider. Trends: Clusters; these have proved very successful and have built on the strength and diversity of Clubs. From the Clusters and our own initiatives will come:

The Primary Schools speech contest (Youth)

Sandringham Hospital support (Local and Health)

Sabu and Tibet (International work)

Partnerships; this is particularly evident in the com-munity area. Through working with Cheltenham Commu-

nity Centre, Scouts etc. we have been able to support locals with small amounts of funding, and logistical and administrative support. Diversity; in our fundraising and in our projects we have thought locally and strategically, large and small. Value: We will have to consider: what is relative value for the club? We will need to consider this in relation to our ef-forts as to whether we can satisfy all the requests for assistance, whether this is locally or internationally. We have finite resources of your time, so we want to be able to sustain our efforts and our projects. We will al-ways work within our values and the values of the 4 way test Our Goals:

One major international project, supported by a Rotary International Grant

One major local/community project – a local signature project

One sizeable youth commitment

New initiatives to consider: always in line with our priori-ties of Healthy Communities, Educated Communities, Safe Communities:

A Men’s Initiative, e.g. Men’s Shed Pro-ject

Aged/ Social Inclusion Project Support of “Days for girls” Indigenous project support Sandybeach Centre Disability Project Coin collections, instead of stamps

Ongoing Projects: We will continue with projects which been committed to and supported by the Club:

Mayoral Golf Day Youth projects : NYSF, RYLA, MUNA Beaumaris Concourse Car and Christ-

mas Festivals Sandringham Hospital Cheltenham Community Centre Chil-

dren’s Festival And many more

Membership: A focus but not a focus Leveraging off the Farmer’s market Being local The obligation to enjoy fun and fellowship: Special events Christmas Function and 30th anniversary of Chartering Thursday 10 December District Conference: 18th to 20th March 2016 Programme A strong programme of Speakers and Fellowship Club Forum coming up in July!
