GUEST SPEAKER Ian Marshman - Yea Wetlands
Ian was our guest speaker this week and spoke about the Yea wetlands. There was good and bad news, unfortunately there has been significant damage to the wetlands following the floods, including damage to the board walks.
3 Minuter Gary Cocks who went through upcoming meetings and the club's activities coming up into next year.
$5200 was raised from the race night and will be shared with the Yea wetlands.
Glen informed us that unfortunately the Rotary BBQ for the open gardens will be cancelled due to the property where it was to be held being washed out. There are still some spaces for gate duty for the open gardens so please check your availability and try and fill the remaining spaces.
Next week is the memorial for John Bett and will be a partners night. Please let Ann know as soon as possible if you will be bringing your partner.

ROTARY CONVENTION 2023 is on in MELBOURNE from May 27th to May 30th, 2023, plus there are many pre and post conference events that you can participate in. If you haven’t already, I strongly urge you to visit the stunning website as follows and familiarise yourself with everything. http://rotarymelboune2023.org Rotary Conventions are the International Rotary Conferences held each year, and are quite an experience. For example, in 1980 and in 1985 a keynote speaker was Albert Sabin, the developer of the oral polio vaccine. His call for repeated, well organised mass vaccination programmes was not embraced by health organisations at the time. Rotary took up the challenge, and the rest is history. Many of our club members have attended Rotary Conventions all around the world, and in the words of PDG David Anderson… “All Rotarians should experience a
Rotary Convention at least once in their lifetime” The last time a RC was held in Australia was in SYDNEY in 2014.
