President's Message - Carolyn Such

 
 
This has been a busy week.  Despite there being no Club meeting on Tuesday I used the time to discharge my home hosting responsibility.  Home hosting is that program where we meet for some hospitality in our own homes.  For me it was an opportunity to bring relatively new members and their spouses together with more experienced Rotarians.  On Tuesday evening we met for an early dinner and it was all over by 9pm.  I still find the program a very good way to get to know people better and commend it to all members for consideration.
On Thursday 9th our inaugural fashion parade was held at Mornington Golf Club.   This was inspired by members Carol Wallace and Annette Ferrier with a very supportive team behind them.  It was a great venue and thank you to member Ross Schweitzer for the use of his membership to reduce our costs.  There were 120 women in attendance.   Auctioneer Phil Key put in a great performance as usual.    All the fashion on show was from Sonsie Boutique in Mount Eliza.  The emphasis was on fashion for the spring racing carnival.  We decided early on that the event would be a substantial fund raiser for forgotten cancers.  These are those lower profile cancers such as kidney and brain cancers.  Although smaller in number they are often very deadly.  We were very lucky to have sponsorship from the Mount Eliza Community Bank for $1500 to get us started support from Bunnings and a great many local businesses.  Final results are not yet compiled but a number well above $5000 is expected.
I am pleased to announce that the Club application for a District Grant has been approved.  The grant is to partially fund the installation of recycled playgrounds in South Africa.  The grant will be managed by the International Committee.  
 
We are also welcoming Andy and Yvonne Simpson as new members on Tuesday evening

Re Musical Enrichment Program
In collaboration with MSO -Classic for Kids (MEP, CFK)
 
Andrea Galgoczi- Kratochvie @ RCS-, initiated this amazing and successful program this year with RC Sorrento, Rosebud, Rye taking 15 children/teachers / Rotarians to Classic for Kids.  She has offered RC in our district to participate in this wonderful musical event for 2025.
President Carolyn has accepted on behalf of our club to participate in this project.
 
It will entail inviting 6 children, 1 chaperone and travel arrangements to/from Hamer Hall (+Rotarians!!)
from the 3 primary schools in Mt Eliza, funded by RCME 
 
I have invited Andrea to our club 19th November to present this project giving us more up to date information of the program content, how it will work, costs/logistics involved etc. 
 
In preparation for this I have sent emails to 3 primary schools-, (principals/Director of Music) @ MENPS, MEPS, KPS with brief detais  about this project, inviting them to participate, and also invited them to join us for the  information night 19th November. Hopefully I will get some positive feedback and interest from them!!
 
I have submitted a preliminary business plan to our board for this MEP.
 
If this meets with enthusiasm from our primary schools this project could become an uplifting yearly project for RCME and perhaps reaching out to other primary schools in our vicinity to participate also.
 
And it will help endorse our ongoing relationships and community committments- old+new - with these schools.
 
 
Cathryn.
