Club Visioning This week, on 11 May, we had a Club Night led by President elect/ Club Service Director Neil Heron and President Sue. The evening was used to do further work on our Club Visioning Project. Those in attendance broke up into groups to work on International, Community Service, Fund-raising Youth and Vocation. Each group was also asked to develop a specific vision for our Club in five years time. Responses from each group will be collated and referred to the Board for further consideration. Golf Day Result On behalf of David Rew it was reported that the 30 April Golf Day looks like raising approximately $14000. David will report on the final amount later this month. Every cent of this money will go to the charity, Shine for Kids, on the Mornington Peninsula. A wonderful result. Thank you and warm congratulations to David & Grace, the Golf Committee and all of those who contributed to this highly successful day.

Bernie Edwards reported that Friend of the Club and former Rotarian Tim Acton is in hospital will several issues. Tim looks like staying in hospital for at least another week. Everyone sends him their best wishes. Welcome Guest - Jim Voss It was great to see Jim (James) Voss attend this week's meeting as a visitor. While he shares the same surname as President Sue, they are not related. This was the third time that we have had the pleasure of Jim's company and hopefully, work pressure permitting, he may see his way clear to becoming a member. A relatively recent arrival in Mt Eliza, Jim, who was born in America, is a Nuclear Engineer who is the President of The Terra Verde Group. Welcome, Jim. We hope to see more of you.
