WEEKLY CHATTER – 5th MAY 2024

It has been another busy weekend in the life of Rotarians taking on positions with President Elect training on Saturday and District Assembly on Sunday. Sunday was also the official opening of the Rotary Art Show for which I would like to thank Sue Foster for filling in for me and to Sabine Jericho for her valued help at the opening. Take time to visit the Art Show it’s well worth the visit.
Congratulations go to Lisa Foster and her partner David, and to Lisa’s dad Robert all achieved success recently at a drag race meeting. Well done to all.

Art Show Opening

The Murray Bridge Regional Gallery was home to the official opening of the Murray Bridge Rotary Art Show. Sunday's large gathering heard from Judge Maz McGann who provided insights into her decision making. First Prize in the 2D section known as the Jean Simms Art Prize was Carole Bann (Whence it came). First Price in the 3D section was Rose Walker (Afternoon reflection - Murray River). First Prize in the Photographic section know as the Andrew Hay Photographic Prize was Jasmin Feneley (In flight). A full list of winners will appear shortly on the web page https://www.murraybridgeartshow.com.au/ . Congratulations to all winners and those who entered the exhibition. The Gallery is open all week with the exemption of Mondays. Please visit and enjoy this wonderful display.
 

Rotary Learning Weekend

Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th May has been a weekend of learning for the coming Rotary year. Murray Bridge Rotary Club was represented by five members who heard from many presenters who particularly focused on the upcoming pilot which will see a change in the way Rotary is managed with increased opportunity for Club to collaborate and instead of replication of roles across our Zone. A Regional Council with a range of specialists will provide support to Clubs and Members. This is an exciting time as District Governor Elect, Marie-louise Lees introduced the annual theme "The Magic Of Rotary".

RYLA & Rotaract Update

Last Tuesday evening the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge heard from new Rotarian, Caitlin Lennon. Caitlin informed us about the Rotary program known as RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award) and the amazing benefits gained from participation. The program is targeted toward young people in the 18 - 25. Applications for the next program to be held in September close on 31st August.
Visit https://ryla9510.org/ for more information and booking. In addition, Caitlin spoke about another passion of establishing a Rotaract Club in the Adelaide Hills. Rotaract is essensially a younger version of Rotary with a less formal structure. An information evening has been planned for 4th April.

Guess Who's Coming To Lunch?

WE NEED YOU!!

PLEASE CONTACT ROBIN
The popular "Guess Who's Coming To Lunch" event is back for 2024.
All it needs is your participation!
The concept is that we have a number of Luncheon Hosts who cater for six additional guests.
Twist is that you wont know who's coming until the guests arrive.
The hosts will provide at least a two course meal with guests supplying their own refreshments.
Hosts do not pay but each attendee will contribute $35 as a fundraiser for our DG's Partner Program.
If required some reimbursement may be available to hosts to help offset costs.
 
To make this work we need the following.
 
Hosts willing to cater for 8 people (including themselves)
Guests willing to enjoy a meal, conversation and have fun
 
When will this happen?
Set aside Sunday 2nd June and be prepared to arrive at your hosts home at 12 midday.
 
Please contact Robin LeGallez to indicate your availability as a Host or Guest.

Golf Hits New High!

Australian Rotary Health is about improving life for ALL Australians through Mental Health Research, Education and Awarness. It invests millions each year and is one of the largest independant funders of mental health within Australia. It provides funding towards research grants, fellowships, and PhD scholarships focused on finding preventative and curative solutions for mental illness. From 2023 the funding will narrow to the mental health of children from 0 to 12 Years of age. Funding also goes to scholarships for rural medical and nursing students, as well as indigenous health students. This morning 72 participated in breakfast cooked by the Rotarians then the 9am shotgun start at the picturesque Murray Bridge Golf Course, a full complement for an Ambrose competition. Lunch commenced at 12noon and was followed by prizes and acknowlegments for the various winners. The real winner was Australian Rotary Health and the community for further funding to contribute to solving one of the world largest current issues, mental health. John Scarvelis
