Hi everybody

Following the State Government's latest lockdown announcement on the afternoon of Friday, 12 February, our scheduled meeting at Toorak College on Tuesday 16 February will not go ahead.

The guest speaker for that evening, Caroline Parker, will be rescheduled by Kay and Judy. We do thank Caroline for her patience.

I am pleased to let everyone know that, at very short notice, Brian Stahl, OAM, JP, will speak to the Club via Zoom about the Order of Australia Awards.

Thank you to Rotarian Alex Anderson, OAM, who has, at short notice stepped in to chair Tuesday's Zoom meeting.

As with our Zoom meetings throughout 2020, the Zoom link will be opened from 5.45 pm and the meeting will start at 6.00 pm sharp.

The link to attend the meeting is http://us02web.zoom.us/j/82650442487

I look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday and, hopefully we will be back at Toorak on Tuesday 23 February.

On other matters I ask that those members who are able to do so, contribute to the coming Golf Day by making a donation of wine as has been requested both at our meetings and through the Bulletin.

As well, make I remind everyone that Jim, as editor, is seeking contributions for the REMEMBER WHEN column.

Until next time

Yours in Rotary

Sue

District Governor Mark Humphries and Past President Linda Humphries

Greetings to all members of the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza and other readers of this Bulletin.

Firstly let me say how proud I am of how everyone managed through the lockdowns last year. We all learnt how to do Rotary differently. Unfortunately, we are now faced with a short sharp lockdown.

On Friday when this column was written, Premier Daniel Andrews said the lockdown would last five days from 11.59pm on Friday until the same time on Wednesday.

Victorians will only be allowed to leave their homes for the

following reasons :

essential supplies,
care and caregiving
exercise
essential work.

Exercise and shopping will be limited to 5km from Victorians’ homes.

Exercise is allowed for two hours a day with household members, your partner, or one other person who is not from your household.

Masks will need to be worn everywhere except in your own homes and no visitors are allowed in homes.

Public gatherings are not permitted.

I know that many of us will be disappointed, however for everyone’s health and safety please adhere to the governments rules and regulations.

We can do it! We are People of Action

Until next time

Warm regards

Mark & Linda

This Week's Bulletin

An abridged version of this week's Bulletin is being sent out early in order to confirm arrangements for our Zoom meeting on Tuesday.

On a separate matter, I am yet to receive any contributions for the REMEMBER WHEN COLUMN. May I ask those who have not yet submitted a column to please do so? (Ed.)

LAUGHTER THE BEST MEDICINE

Thanks to Secretary Pauline who has contributed the three cartoon jokes this week:

I was waiting for a Zoom call to start with one of my firm's clients.

He sent me a text, saying, "I am having some technical issues getting the meeting started, please bare with me."

I thought that this was an odd request, however he was the client, so I agreed.

Eventually we got the video to work, but now I'm fired!"

An Englaishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard and a Dutchman are all on a Zoom meeting with their boss.

The boss asked, "Can you see me?"

They replied:

"Yes"

"Oui"

"Si"

"Ja"

I have a new job and I'm getting paid a lot to shut down Zoom calls ... Now, I'm making ends meet by making meets end!

Last year Bernie, Joe & Donald had a secret Zoom meeting.

Bernie said, "You know, it's amazing, last night I dreamed that God spoke to me and told me that he wanted me to be President."

Joe said, "How strange, I had the same dream."

Donald then remarked, "That's funny, I don't remember talking to either of you!"

Auction Items for Golf Day

This story from last week is being republished to again ask Rotarians and others for donations of wine for auction at our Annual Golf Day.

As reported by the organiser of our Annual Rotary Golf Day, Rotarian Past President David Rew, the day is already booked out for golfers.

All non golfer members are encourage to attend the lunch and participate in the after match festivities.

In order to raise further funds for Shine For Kids, David and his organising committee are looking for items that can be donated for auction on the day. If you have any suitable items please let David know.

Separately, David fas asked Jim Young to endeavour to collect wine that can be auctioned at the event.

Any Member, Friend or Honorary Member who is able to donate one or more bottles of wine is asked to contact Jim and let him know - jimyoung3@icloud.com

You may also have access to friends or family members who are in the wine business. If that is the case you are asked to see if they would be prepared to make a donation of wine that can be auctioned.

All donated wines will be auctioned either as individual bottles (for expensive wine) or in packs of six bottles. Donations from any wineries or liquor stores will be acknowledged on the day.

Thank you in advance for your generosity in supporting this important Club initiative.
