Club Assembly
3 Minute Speaker - Glenda
Glenda spoke of her recent visit America and Canada, where she was able to catch up with both old school friends and RFE friends, but the highlight of the trip was to at-tend the Rotary Convention in Calgary. Staying with her RFE friends Lyn and Ed in Washington State on a self-contained 1000 acre farm, (we have met when they attended a club meeting here), Glenda travelled via British Columbia and the Rockies to Calgary, taking in the magnificent mountain scenery.
Calgary welcomed 16,000 from 140 countries to the convention, which was held at a sporting precinct. The House of Friendship was a highlighter and hearing of all the wonderful projects being done by clubs made her very proud to be a Rotarian.
It was Glenda’s third Rotary convention, and first international convention.
Glenda reminded us that registrations are open for 9790 District Conference, March 2026, to be held at the Pentridge Conference precinct in Coburg,
Yahoo—Thank you Glenda!

From the Floor—
Sue—Youth Exchange
Sue commented that it is sad that RC of Yea will not be participating in Youth Exchange in 2026, as it is wonderful PR and could assist membership growth from host families. We need to keep promoting it to attract new host families. -
President Darryl
RCs of Mansfield, Alexandra and Yea were successful to receive a grant to support drought relief for farming families. RC of Alexandra will administer the grant, with Yea receiving $2,500 by way of Foodworks Vouchers for food only. We will consult with the Community House and others to ensure the vouchers go to those in need. Maximum voucher can be $250 though actual value still to be determined.
