The guest speaker at our Dinner Meeting at Toorak College on 13 October was David Quinn, President of the Mt Eliza 55 Plus Club.
David outlined the many activities that the 430 plus members of this Club enjoy including dancing, cards, table tennis, tai chi and zumba. The Club offers older members of our community with opportunities for friendship, connection and other social interaction.
In outlining the recent $65,000 refurbishment of the Club kitchen, David expressly thanked the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza for our contribution of $7000 towards new kitchen appliances.
Thanks to David for a most interesting and positive presentation.

Our Three Minute Speaker this week was Rotarian Mary Hunt who reflected upon her first full year as a Mt Eliza Rotarian.
Speaking with glee and enthusiasm Mary talked about learning how to really clean a Bunnings BBQ, how to stay dry when on the gate at a wet Farmers Market and her delight to be involved as our lead on It's OK, not to be OK.
Being a Rotarian has been an important part of Mary's life especially following the sudden passing of her husband, Jamie, who was a much loved member of our Club. Mary spoke about how welcomed she had been made feel and the new friendships that she has made through our lab.
Thank you Mary for a delightful, poignant, presentation.
