Thirty members attended our first dinner meeting at Toorak College on Tuesday 8 December. A wonderful Christmas Dinner was enjoyed by all. Two other people attended via Zoom, together with our guest speaker.
Our guest speaker for the evening was Dr Martin Woods from the National Library, Canberra, who provided a most interesting talk on the history of maps and, in particular, the work of Captain James Cook as he navigated and mapped New Zealand, Pacific Islands and the Eastern coast of Australia. Thanks to Rotarians Neil Heron and Bernie Edwards for all of their work in arranging the Zoom technology.
President Sue received a lovely letter from the Catering Team at Toorak which read as follows:
Dear Mount Eliza Rotary Club Members
What an interesting year we have shared!
Thank you for your openness and support in trying "new things" this year. Home delivery and reusable containers have been a fun and practical way for us to stay in touch, however we look forward to 2021 and seeing you all in person.
Wishing you all a safe and Merry Christmas.
