President's Message - James Voss

 
President’s Column – Bulletin – 1 November 2026

There are many things going on in the Club. Never a dull moment. A decision has been made about the 2027 Golf Event. It will be held on Friday April 16 at the “Little Club” in Frankston as before. The catering will be as before. We will be supported by the Mornington Peninsula Order of St John as the last few years. The proceeds will be divided between Code 9 and Street Side Medics as last year. Thecommittee is now being set up to get ahead of the arrangements.

I have asked Jackie Lane and Alison Lythgoe to do a study looking at whether we should consider moving the 2028 event to a different course. Thank you Alison & Jackie.

We’ve qualified for two District grants. Carolyn Such is managing these with John Anderson taking part of the lead. There is also a window to qualify for another grant and Carolyn is pushing this through. Thank you!

RYLA is holding an advanced leadership course call Elevate. It will be held in the Blue Mountains in November. Our District RYLA leadership has selected Chloe Lewis to participate. Congratulations.!You will recall that Sam is “too old” to participate in RYLA however Elevate allows applicants up to age 40 to participate and the Board has selected Sam to participate.

I’m in Manila as I type this and will be in Hanoi and Singapore before returning at the end of the month when this Bulletin goes out. November has me in Singapore and Hanoi again.

Unfortunately I will not be at the Calcutta, however I wish Yvonne, Phil and the team every success.

Report of 20 October Meeting
* Mt Eliza Rotarians Stories - George-Ann Sullivan, Alison Lythgoe & Phil Key
 
* Woodleigh Students - Xavier Goldfinch & Ethan Gately

The guest speakers at our Dinner Meeting at Toorak College on 13 October were Club Members, Rotarians George-Ann Sullivan, Alison Lythgoe & Phil Key.

Each member of our Club has an interesting and at times inspirational life story to tell and so it proved to be the case again with Alison, George-Ann & Phil all delivering memorable talks.

Woodleigh Students Xavier Goldfinch & Ethan Gately attended our meeting together with Xavier's father, Adam, and Ethan's mother Jo.

Introduced by our Environment Director Mark Rodman, Xavier & Ethan are working on an environmental visit to Indonesia next year. Their presentation was very professional demonstrating the skills that so many young Australians possess.
