President's Message

Hi everybody
 
A fairly quick note to say hello from Carl and me while we are finally getting away for a trip interstate.
 
While I am sorry that I wasn't at Rotary this week, I must be honest and say that I am very appreciative of being able to take a holiday at long last.
 
A brief report has told me that Iain Buckland presented a most interesting talk on French cuisine and its influence across the world (including Noosa!). It is great that the Club is back at Toorak and that we can get on with business as usual.
 
Next week is my last as Club President. I will save my thanks to everyone until then.
 
Please keep safe and enjoy life.
 
Until next time
Yours in Rotary
Sue

Greetings to all members of the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza and other readers of this Bulletin.
 
As District 9820 Rotarians we should be so proud of the fact that forty years ago an initiative of the Rotary Club of Mornington led to the establishment of Australian Rotary Health (ARH).
 
 Over the last 40 years ARH has undertaken a broad range of projects that have improved the lives of members of the community in our District, across Australia and Internationally.
 
Currently the Mornington Rotary Club and Australian Rotary Health are very pleased to be sponsoring new research into a better way of bowel cancer screening.
 
PhD candidate Liam Ryan, at Deakin University, is researching the use of cell based screening rather than relying on blood detection, used by the current national screening test.
 
Mornington Club President Ross Kilborn says that this research has the potential to save many more lives through more effective and earlier detection. “Mornington Rotary has had a long commitment to medical research. In the early 1980’s the club led research into sudden infant death syndrome, which evolved to the formation of Australian Rotary Health”.  Since then Australian Rotary Health has contributed over $50 million dollars to medical research, with an emphasis, since the early 2000’s on mental health, especially for young people.
 
Mornington Rotary has continued its commitment to Australian Rotary Health, having previously sponsored Bevan Main as a PhD candidate for research into Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE); a disease that has recently received much media attention for its impact on players in our football codes. The club is also currently sponsoring an Indigenous student, Molly King, in her studies to become a doctor, and enable her to realise her ambition of improving Indigenous health.
 
L to R, Ted Moore, Liam Ryan, Molly King, and Ken Bilham, Ross Kilborn.
(both Ted and Ken were members in 1981 when ARH was conceived)
 
Mornington Club President, Ross, says “I am pleased to be contributing, as a funding partner, to this research into this new bowel screening approach in memory of my father Reg. I am sure there are many others who would like to join me in this important opportunity to improve our effectiveness and early detection, and minimise the distress caused by this disease”.

Until next time
Warm regards

Guest Speaker - Dr Iain Buckland
 
Iain Buckland from Beleura provided a most interesting talk this week about the history of French cuisine. Iain explained developments that took place in France during the 19th Century and how French food influenced other countries, especially in Russia. 
 
Iain's most interesting talk also covered the influence of French gastronomy across the world including at Noosa in Queensland in the 1970s. His talk generated a number of questions and his subject was greatly appreciated by all in attendance.

Sergeant Chris
 
Well done to our Sergeant Chris Angerer this week (for the second week in a row). Chris managed to extract a large number of fines from members which will be put to good use later in the year when we purchase Christmas Hampers for deserving families.
 
Acting President Ross
 
As President Sue will be way for the last couple of weeks of this Rotary Year, thanks to Past president Ross for stepping in and acting as President.
 
Three Minute Speaker
 
This week Rotarian Bernie Edwards spoke about the Club Trust Fund. Established in 2003 the Trust has accumulated significant funds and each year provides the Club with additional monies that can be dispersed to recognised charities. The Trust allocates monies to organisations that are Recognised Gift Recipients (DGRs).
 
Any member who would like to make a tax deductible donation to the Trust is invited to have a discussion with Bernie or Treasurer Chris Angerer.
 
Farmers' Market
 
A reminder that the Mt Eliza Farmers' Market in on this coming Sunday, 27 June. Thank you in advance to all of those members & Friends who have volunteered to help.

LAUGHTER THE BEST MEDICINE
Men always use nicknames.
If Mary, Judy and Rhonda go out for lunch they call each other Mary, Judy and Rhonda.
When Michael, David & John have lunch they refer to each other as Bluey, Roughy and Fatty.
 
 
A small boy went to the Bayside Shopping Centre with his grandfather. The pair became separated and, as he had been told to do by his parents, the boy found a policeman.
"I've lost my Granddad", he told the policemen.
The officer replied, "What's he like?"
The young lad said, "Jack Daniels Whiskey, cigars and good looking women!"
 
 
A taxi driver passed away and arrived at the Pearly Gates. St Peter looked him up in his Big Book and then invited him to put on a silk robe, presented him with a golden staff and invited him to proceed into Heaven.
 
A minister of religion was next in line behind the cabby and he watched with interest. When it was his turn St Peter looked him up, turned to him and said, "We'll let you in. Put on this sack cloth and here is a wooden staff."
 
The preacher was most annoyed. He said to St Peter, "I am a man of the cloth. You gave the taxi driver a golden staff and a silk robe. Surely I rate higher than a cabby."
 
St Peter looked at him matter of factly and said, "Here, we are interested in results. When you preached most people dozed off and didn't pay attention. When that cabby drove, people in his taxi prayed!"
 
 
Q. What do you call Santa's helpers?
A. Subordinate Clauses!
